In a social media post late yesterday, the official Chinese television channel CCTV called on citizens to "reduce the purchase of goods from abroad or receive mail messages from A.

The authorities pledged to increase the sterilization of mail from abroad and insisted that postal workers should receive full vaccination doses.

China has called on citizens to use muzzles and gloves when opening mails, especially those from abroad, after authorities said that the first case of omicron mutant strain of the Korna virus spotted in Beijing may have resulted from expulsion from Canada.

The Chinese Postal Service ordered its workers to sterilize international packages and urged citizens to reduce orders from abroad, after authorities claimed that mail could be the source of a recent outbreak of corona virus infections in China.

These precautions come less than 3 weeks before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics and with several cities working to reduce the increase in corona virus infections.

It also urged them to "make sure that they protect themselves during face-to-face deliveries, use muzzles and gloves and try to open the package in an open space."

Health officials said that the person spotted with the Omicron mutant had opened a package from Canada through the United States and Hong Kong and that "transmission through expulsion could not be excluded."

Millions of Chinese have been forced to accompany their homes in multiple cities in recent weeks after injuries to Delta and Omicron mutants emerged, FP reported.

Recent casualties have emerged in areas with large quantities of international goods, including in the eastern coastal city of Tianjin and the southern Guangdong industrial region.
