BEIJING (The Straits TImes/ANN): After an outbreak of the coronavirus at Xinfadi food market in Beijing last week, health workers collected thousands of samples and found that the most contaminated sections in the 112ha wholesale market were those selling seafood and meat such as beef and mutton.

Experts believe the low temperature and high humidity environment there could be the reason for the latest outbreak, which infected more than 100 people .

The findings from Xinfadi and Wuhan’s Huanan market provide “a new direction for solving this mystery”, said Dr Wu, who added that infected seafood vendors in Xinfadi had developed symptoms earlier than the rest. Chinese Customs said on Thursday that it has tested more than 32,000 samples of imported seafood, meat, vegetables, fruit and other foods, and found them safe.
