BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): China is doubling down on efforts to stem the transmission of the coronavirus through imported cold products, requiring thorough disinfection of such shipments before they come into contact with domestic workers.

The heightened precautions were announced in a notice, released by the State Council's Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism on Monday (Nov 9), after Tianjin reported a confirmed case of Covid-19 -a worker at a local frozen food company-on Sunday.
