Covid-19 may survive at low temperatures, says Chinese expert


BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): The recent outbreak of the Covid-19 (coronavirus) at Beijing's Xinfadi wholesale farm-produce market could indicate the virus can survive at low temperatures, according to Professor Zhong Nanshan, one of the world's leading experts on respiratory diseases.

The virus was found on cutting boards for imported salmon at the market in the city's Fengtai district, and since then many markets have stopped selling fish and meat.
