Exploring potential risks in cross-border logistics from the new outbreak in Taichung


한어Русский языкEnglishFrançaisIndonesianSanskrit日本語DeutschPortuguêsΕλληνικάespañolItalianoSuomalainenLatina

Cross-border logistics, especially overseas express delivery services, can also become a channel for the spread of the virus while meeting people's consumption needs. During the cross-border transportation of express parcels, they go through multiple links and contact with people, and the virus may attach to them. Once these parcels enter the community, if they are not strictly disinfected, they may lead to the spread of the epidemic.

In the new cases of the epidemic in Taichung, although it cannot be directly determined that they were caused by overseas express delivery, this possibility cannot be ignored. Among the 12 new cases in Taichung, there are 2 transmission chains. Whether the source of these two transmission chains is related to cross-border logistics requires in-depth epidemiological investigation and analysis. The 3 new cases in Changhua and Tainan may also have some connection with Taichung, perhaps due to the flow of people or common contact with some potential source of infection.

We need to strengthen supervision and prevention and control measures for the potential risks brought by cross-border logistics. First, we need to improve the disinfection standards and frequency of express parcels. Before the parcels enter the country, they must be fully disinfected to ensure that the virus has nowhere to hide. At the same time, for the staff in the transportation link, we must strengthen personal protection and health monitoring, and conduct nucleic acid tests regularly to prevent them from becoming the medium for virus transmission.

Secondly, we need to improve the traceability system. For every cross-border express package, we need to be able to trace its source, transportation route and contact persons. Once an epidemic is discovered, we can quickly identify possible sources of infection and contacts, take effective isolation and prevention and control measures, and minimize the impact of the epidemic.

In addition, the public should also enhance their awareness of self-prevention. When receiving overseas express delivery, they should take personal protection measures, wear masks and gloves, and disinfect the packages in time. At the same time, they should try to reduce unnecessary overseas shopping to reduce the risk of infection.

In short, cross-border logistics brings us convenience, but also brings new challenges. We need to attach great importance to it and take effective measures to ensure that while enjoying the convenience, we also protect the health and safety of the public.
