After the outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia, it was believed that the origin of the coronavirus was bats, which led to the suspicion of seafood products. In fact, there is no obvious link between seafood products and the new coronavirus. The first 27 cases occurred in the South China Seafood Market in Wuhan, where the first 27 patients were workers, so it was thought that there might be an association with wild animals such as bats and snakes. Human exposure to and consumption of unclean wildlife has led to the development of the new coronavirus, but it is now believed that fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish and other seafood and wildlife are not the same kind of seafood, as long as these seafood is cooked through sufficient heating, can be safely consumed. Therefore, seafood bought from the seafood market is safe to eat as long as it is well heated and cooked. Source: Dr. Yau Lai
