Now the epidemic situation in Beijing's new land has made people all over the country nervous, and it has soared to more than 300 cases in just a few days. Why is the risk factor of the beef and mutton trading hall in Xinfadi so high? Because Xinfadi is a place with a very large flow of people, there are many people and goods coming in and out every day, so it is likely to lead to the phenomenon of human-to-human transmission in COVID-19. Moreover, the virus likes low temperature environment, and both beef, mutton and seafood need to be preserved in low temperature environment, so it creates a good living environment for the virus, so there are more people who are positive in the beef and mutton hall on the underground floor.

In fact, people are not only worried about whether it will be transmitted from person to person, but also worried about whether eating beef and mutton with virus will be indirectly transmitted. Not really. Experts found through research that COVID-19, like other viruses, is very sensitive to high temperature. Under normal circumstances, the virus will lose its infectivity in 30 minutes at 56 degrees Celsius. So as long as we fully heat the food, the virus will not be transmitted to us through food. At present, there is no evidence that the virus will spread through the digestive tract, so you can eat it with confidence without worrying about spreading it to the human body through food. Some netizens are also worried that the closure of the beef and mutton trading hall will lead to an increase in pork prices. Not really. Although newly developed pork accounts for 65,438+00% of Beijing's total supply, most fresh supermarkets have their own supply channels, and some have direct supply mode, so the overall impact on the market is not particularly great. At the same time, the Bureau of Commerce will also grasp the real-time situation, replenish the supply of goods in time, ensure the smooth circulation channels, and people can buy enough daily necessities. Relevant departments are also committed to urging market promoters to implement their food safety management responsibilities, fulfill their management obligations, strengthen supervision and inspection, and let the people eat safe and healthy food.
