In just a few weeks, a series of cases of pneumonia of unknown cause have been reported among merchants working at seafood markets in Southern China. They were infected with COVID-19.

Whether the early epidemic in south China seafood market was imported through the cold chain of American seafood has become the biggest suspect. In June 2020, the tracing results of xinfadi in Beijing, Dalian in Liaoning Province in July, and Qingdao in Shandong Province in October all pointed to imported cold chain products. Therefore, it is entirely possible that the virus attached to the cold chain packaging of the seafood products from the United States entered the seafood market in South China.
