I REFER to the report “Are packages from China safe from coronavirus?” (The Star, Jan 31; online at https://bit.ly/2vmeTGr). I am rather concerned about this issue as there is currently no point of reference on how to determine if packages from China are safe. Such directions should only come from a health authority, namely the Health Ministry.
Are the assurances made by online shopping companies that the packages from China are disinfected prior to delivery reliable? Are the precautionary measures taken by online shopping companies sufficient to safeguard shoppers from infection or does more need to be done?
