China's delivery companies are ordered to disinfect international mails upon arrival and hold them for about seven days before delivery, as the country is taking tightened measures to prevent the spreading of coronavirus from overseas, China's State Post Bureau said on March 19.
In January, several cases reported in Beijing, Zhuhai and Shenzhen were probably connected to contaminated mails coming from overseas.
At present, a total of more than 29,000 cases of COVID-19 were reported in China, including Northeast China's Jilin Province, Shanghai and Guangdong Province.
In bid to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 from overseas, many provinces have carried out strict inspection for overseas mails.
Relevant authorities are required to provide NAT for all couriers, in order to enhance public confidence across the country's express delivery industry.
Experts noted that contactless delivery is encouraged and smart express delivery boxes could also be used. Besides, Recipients are suggested to open mail outdoors, disinfect the inside of the mail package, and sanitize and wash their hands carefully.
