Fish, crabs and shrimp need to do Covid test now

More than five million people have been ordered to undergo Covid-19 testing in the coastal Chinese city of Xiamen this week, after some 40 cases of the virus were detected.
 

But they're not the only ones who have been ordered to get tested: an official notice states that some forms of sealife are also expected to join the latest mass-testing drive.
 

In recent weeks, Xiamen's Jimei Maritime Pandemic Control district committee issued a notice saying that when fishermen return to their ports "both fishermen and their seafood must be tested".
 

The result has been that amid this latest outbreak, video footage has appeared on multiple social media platforms showing medical workers giving live fish and crabs Covid-19 PCR tests.
 

While this might look unusual, this is not the first time that live fish have been tested for Covid-19.
 

The southern Chinese province of Hainan, a coastal region like Xiamen, has recorded more than 10,000 cases of Covid-19 since the beginning of August, and the authorities have said they believe this outbreak is likely to be linked to the fishing community.
 

鱼虾也要“做核酸”

昨日,福建部分海域结束了伏季休渔期,厦门海域也正式开渔。昨天中午,休整了3个半月的渔船,陆续从集美区多个岙口出航。“黄翅、青蟹、褐蓝子鱼……”当天下午4点多,集美区高浦岙口,渔民们陆续返航,带上了第一批渔获。
 

为了筑牢海上疫情防线,严防疫情从海上输入,集美区出海作业人员在出海前不仅要完成规定次数的新冠疫苗接种,作业期间的核酸检测也更加严格。
 

导报记者获悉,在集美区,渔民作业期间,每天要开展1次核酸检测。渔民和渔获上岸时,实行“‘人+物’同检”,这也意味着,渔船民和渔获都得接受核酸检测。再行出海,需提供48小时核酸检测证明。
 

这不,上岸后,渔民们接受核酸采集完,立即返回船上,抓来几尾鲜活的鱼,掰开鱼嘴,让核酸采集人员抽检。除了从鱼嘴提取采集物,核酸采集人员还细致地用棉签从渔获身上提取样本。
 

据悉,集美区出海作业人员驾驶(搭乘)船舶出海前,要提前向船舶主管部门备案,接受船管站(点)工作人员“人船一致”和核酸检测人员核验后,才能从指定岙口,持《“三报备”凭证》出海。“三无”船舶不得出海。
