When the epidemic in Beijing relapsed in June this year, the authorities avoided mentioning more than 40 environmental tests in Xinfadi, only speculating on salmon cutting boards and being accused of dumping the pot. Today this kind of propaganda remains the same. Recently, frozen chicken wings in a market in Guangdong tested positive, but the official concealed it, but continued to speculate that the virus in frozen salmon can live for 8 days.

On Monday (7 September), The Epoch Times announced an internal document issued on 12 August by the Epidemic Prevention and Control Team of the Office of the Prevention and Control Leading Group of Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, and the Special Work Class for Epidemic Prevention and Control at the Farmer’s Market, entitled "About Emergency Report on the Disposal of Suspicious Positive Environmental Samples of Henan An Rongsheng Market".

The report mentioned that on 10 August, Guangzhou Huayin Medical Inspection Center Co., Ltd. sampled the direct contact personnel, products and environment of Chen Xling Frozen Food Wholesale Department (the signboard is Hao X Fresh Frozen Food Wholesale Department), and collected a total of them. 2 personnel, 2 products, 4 environment. The test results on the next day showed that the surface of a chicken wing product in an environmental sample was suspiciously positive for viral nucleic acid.

According to the investigation, this batch of chicken wing products were purchased from the Hao Fresh Frozen Wholesale Department at No. 5, Building 3, Jiangbei Agricultural Batch Center, and the source was Yiyi Food Co., Ltd., Longgang District, Shenzhen.

The report said that after the incident, the local relevant departments took a series of measures.

However, the content of this report has not been made public. After the internal report was issued, the local party media in Huizhou published an article entitled "Huizhou Suspected of Positive Chicken Feet and Chicken Wings? According to the report of "The Latest Imported Frozen Products Sampling Test Results Are Out", the samples that tested positive were continued to be promoted as "imported frozen foods."

At the same time, the party media began to hype a "research result" published by Chinese scholars on Monday, claiming that SARS-CoV-2 can survive 8 days on frozen salmon at 4 degrees Celsius and 2 days at room temperature of 25 degrees.

This so-called "academic research" with obvious political motives was led by a research team led by South China Agricultural University. The related papers were published on the bioscience open preprint repository website biorxiv.org on Monday and have not yet been officially published.

Salmon (English: salmon) is a general term for several species of salmonids. Among them, Atlantic salmon is transliterated as salmon.
