Local citizens who have contacted packages from SF Express Yuhang transit centre should take the initiative to conduct nucleic acid testing, health authorities urged in an announcement today (Friday).
Citizens who have contacted express packages from the Yuhang centre at Hangzhou city should conduct nucleic acid testing on the 1st, 4th and 7th days, as Hangzhou city has reported 11 new local transmitted covid cases with all cases working in the SF Express Yuhang Transit Terminal.
The SF Express Transit Terminal at Yuhang District, Hangzhou City – one of the biggest distribution centers of SF Express to classify packages before shipping to the next station -, has been closed.
SF Express (Group) Co., Ltd. is the second-largest multinational delivery services and logistics company in China, providing domestic and international express delivery.
The Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Centre reminds the citizens to pay attention to their health conditions and seek medical treatment immediately If they have any suspected symptoms of Covid-19, as online shopping packages are at high risk of virus contamination.
All delivery services from Macau to the mainland have been suspended, while no updates have been announced about mainland packages to Macau, SF Express Macau responded to TDM today.
The Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Centre urges citizens to handle online shopping packages carefully, and reminds the public of the following:
- Try to avoid purchasing or receiving packages sent from high-risk areas, especially packages from countries and regions with many local Covid transmission cases, or packages transported in a low-temperature process
- Handle packages from high-risk regions after wearing masks and disposable gloves, to reduce direct contact with the items and inhalation of the dust raised in the air;
- Pick up the package outdoor or in a well-ventilated place, reduce contact with the delivery man and personnel at the collection points; if the packages need to be signed in person, keep distance with the delivery man and personnel at the collection points;
- Open the package outdoors or on a well-ventilated balcony. Try to avoid taking the outer packaging home, use chlorine-containing disinfectant or 75% alcohol to disinfect the inner and outer packaging if you need to take it home, and properly dispose of the packaging;
- Take off gloves after handling the package, carefully wash or disinfect your hands, change masks, and avoid touching your mouth, eyes, and nose with uninfected hands.
