Beijing: It has been reported that not only humans but also animals like fish and crabs are being tested for corona virus in China. It is significant that this measure is being followed as the spread of corona infection in the country is increasing. This has been brought to light by one of the country’s media.
China is known as the birthplace of the Corona virus that is sweeping the world. It was in the Wuhan province where the infection was first detected in the world. From there, Corona has now spread to the seven continents of the world.
In this case, it has been reported that more than 50 lakh people from most areas including Xiamen city of China have been tested for Corona. It is reported that the authorities are conducting the test not only on humans but also on sea creatures.
A video published by a Chinese media company has gained attention as proof of that. In it, health department staff are conducting corona tests on sea creatures like fish and crabs. The employees are also wearing PPE kit. PCR tests are also being done on fish mouths and crab shells.
It has caught the attention of netizens. A user said that although this is funny, the government is taking it as a preventive measure to prevent the spread of infection. One user said he thought it was a joke.
