To try to stem the spread of the Covid-19 virus, authorities in the Chinese port city of Xiamen were checking every newly captured seafood, from fish and crabs to shrimp.
On Friday, Xiamen reported 10 new cases of Covid, bringing the total number of cases in the current outbreak to 65, according to CNN.
According to the city’s fishery supervisor, PCR testing must be conducted on all fishermen and their catch upon their return to Xiamen, a popular tourist city in the southeastern Chinese province of Fujian.
"We test humans as well as what they caught at the same time – sample tests for the same batch of seafood,” a staff member of the Xiamen Municipal Oceanic Development Bureau told the South China Morning Post.
“We’re not the only place doing this. We took the lesson from Hainan, which is witnessing a serious outbreak. It’s said that it may be triggered by marine product transactions between local fishermen and their overseas counterparts,” the staff member added.
Communist China’s zero-Covid regulation has been under fire after a weird video surfaced showing medical staff in hazardous suits testing live seafood.

Gosh. I’ve had to stay away from bat soup for two years. Now I have to stay away from seafood? That’s going to be a little harder.
You laugh now, but if there is an outbreak of cod covid, China will be the first to know.
On the same sort of thing: you know those test kits for COVID? Well some nurses sent in swabs straight out of the box without using them to a lab that processes them and they all showed positive for COVID.
Gotta see if their fish have crabs
THis whole damn planet is coming unraveled...
Fish that fail the test get frozen and packaged for export.
Two observations:
1) If checking sewage for COVID is a valid indicator, as is done in the US, fish swabbing maybe a good idea, as they are a concentrator of what’s in the waters, just as humans are.
2) What is it with this fish thing? I remember the Chinese blaming infected fish for the whole epidemic last year in one of their attempts to “prove” the natural theory of COVID origination.
Been looking for that story. Is link available?
Thank you.
Well it looks like it was a fake story. I have to be more careful in the future:https://www.poynter.org/?ifcn_misinformation=u-s-hospital-laboratories-falsify-covid-19-tests-to-inflate-the-number-of-positive-results-nurses-sent-unused-swabs-for-covid-19-testing-and-they-all-came-back-positive
