    A few days ago, the news of the price reduction of imported cherries made many people a taste of it.
    However, the surface of the cherries was exposed to a positive nucleic acid test, which also caused the majority of netizens to call "a bit scared".
    The news once appeared on the microblog.
    Bo Hot Search, as of the time of publication, the number of readings has exceeded 300 million
    .
     
     
    So, can imported cherries still be eaten? How should I wash it? Will eating cherries infect the new crown?
     
    As soon as the news came out, many consumers began to worry, can imported cherries be eaten with confidence? What does it mean that imported cherries test positive for nucleic acid? In this regard, Feng Zijian, deputy director of the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that although many imported goods show positive in nucleic acid tests, a positive nucleic acid does not necessarily mean that they are infectious
    .

     
    Feng Zijian, deputy director of the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: A positive nucleic acid does not mean that it must be contagious.
    It depends on the amount of contamination and whether the contaminated virus is active
    .
    From what we know, the nucleic acid detected in this imported cherries in Wuxi is positive, and the virus load is very low, which will not pose too much risk of infection to consumers
    .
     
    Up to now, although we continue to find that various imported goods have been tested positive, we have not found that ordinary consumers have been infected by the virus contaminated by such imported goods
    .

     
     
    Feng Zijian said that in the past, people engaged in food processing or handling were infected because they were exposed to the virus for a long time and frequently
    .
    For consumers, imported fruits generally do not cause infection and can be eaten with confidence after washing
    .
    Generally, no special treatment is required, just rinse with clean water
    .
    There is also hand hygiene.
    Wash your hands promptly after touching objects.
    Do not touch your eyes, nose, and mouth with dirty hands
    .
     
     
    Experts say that compared with cold chain foods, fruits are stored at a higher temperature, and the virus will not survive on the surface of the fruit for too long
    .
    However, due to the low temperature in winter, the survival time of the virus on the surface of the container and the container will be prolonged, so it is necessary to wash hands frequently to prevent the virus from spreading through contact with the outer packaging
    .

     
    In this regard, the reporter interviewed Luan Rongsheng, chairman of the Epidemiology Branch of the Sichuan Preventive Medicine Association and professor of epidemiology at the West China School of Public Health, Sichuan University, and he answered this series of questions
    .
     
    Can I still eat imported cherries?
     
    Luan Rongsheng: The problem is not big
    .
    Whether it is cherries or other fruits, they are washed or peeled before eating
    .
    Although the surface of the fruit may be contaminated during processing, handling, and transportation, it is generally possible to remove most of the virus on the surface of the fruit after cleaning
    .
     
    Will eating contaminated cherries catch the new crown?
     
    Luan Rongsheng: The new coronavirus has no digestive tract transmission route, so even if a small amount of the virus enters the human body through the digestive tract, it will not be infected
    .
    Moreover, animal experiments have also shown that after feeding contaminated food to animals, there is no animal infection and spread, so the public does not need to be overly concerned or panic about this matter
    .

     
    Then why is there a phenomenon of cold chain food/items passing from person to person?
     
    Luan Rongsheng: Cold chain food refers to perishable food that is purchased or harvested from the place of origin, and must be kept in a low temperature environment during the processing, storage, transportation, distribution, and retail of the product until it reaches the consumer
    .
     
    And why is there a phenomenon of cold chain food/items passing from person to person? Because the frozen food itself is in a low temperature state, if it is contaminated, the virus will survive for a longer time
    .
    Secondly, in the frozen food processing site, the temperature is lower and the space is relatively closed.
    If there is a source of infection in the processing site at this time, it will cause person-to-person or material-to-person transmission
    .
    With more sources of infection, the chances of spreading the virus to the outside are greater, so the chance of cold chain food being contaminated is also greater
    .
     
    But fruits are different from cold chain foods.
    Fruits cannot be frozen or frozen for a long time.
    In addition, the environment where they are located is ventilated, and the temperature is relatively higher than cold chain foods, and the virus cannot survive on the surface of the fruit for too long.
    , So the possibility of virus on the surface of the fruit is unlikely
    .
    And there are currently no cases of infection through eating fruits, so this risk is extremely low
    .
    And the public can also remove most of the virus on the surface of the fruit by washing with clean water
    .
     
    In addition, the physical transmission of cold chain food is not the infected person eating cold chain food, but spread through contact
    .
    That is, hands and other body parts come into contact with contaminated frozen food or contaminated packaging, and then touch the mouth, eyes, and nose with their hands to become infected
    .
    And what can be spread through contact is also exposure to high-concentration large droplets and high-concentration contaminated frozen food/objects
    .
     
    How to clean cherries correctly?
     
    Luan Rongsheng: Clean with running water
    .
    For other fruits that can be peeled, it is recommended to eat them after peeling
    .

     
    How are national imported goods killed or quarantined?
     
    Luan Rongsheng: Imported goods have to pass two hurdles
    .
    The first is the import quarantine link, which is the responsibility of the customs
    .
    Inspection and quarantine includes the quarantine of people, animals, plants, and articles.
    The contamination rate of imported cold chain food is one in several hundred thousand, which is extremely low
    .
    The second is the food safety clearance, which is the responsibility of the Food and Drug Administration
    .
    As long as these two barriers are held, when the product reaches the consumer, the risk is extremely low
    .
     
    What should consumers pay attention to daily?
     
    Luan Rongsheng: For consumers, they should pay attention to food hygiene and cook other foods that can be cooked before eating
    .
