Chinese and Norwegian authorities have concluded salmon from Norway was not the source of the coronavirus found on cutting boards at a Beijing wholesale food market, Norway’s fisheries and seafood minister said.
“We can clear away uncertainty,” Odd Emil Ingebrigtsen told a video conference.
According to Reuters, China halted imports of European salmon after reports emerged that the virus was discovered on equipment used for handling fish at Beijing’s Xinfadi market, prompting supermarkets in the Chinese capital to remove salmon from their shelves.
