Experts debunk China’s claim Omicron imported on Canadian package 專家駁斥中國聲稱 Omicron 在加拿大包裝上進口


CBC News: The National in Canada shows that China blamed Beijing’s first case of the Omicron variant on a package from Canada, something that Canadian experts were quick to say is 'not based on science.'

Canadian Doctors say claim that Beijing's 1st Omicron case came from Canada isn't based on science. Canadian Health minister calls it really 'an extraordinary view.'

Many people are treating this with deep skepticism.

Chinese health authorities said that a case of Omicron in Beijing may have spread from a package received from Canada. They urged citizens to stop ordering parcels from abroad as the opening of the so-called Winter Olympics approaches.

Canadian medical experts say that it is unlikely that such a shipment could spread the virus.

加拿大廣播公司新聞:《加拿大國民報》顯示,中國將北京首例 Omicron 變體歸咎於來自加拿大的包裹,加拿大專家很快說這“不是基於科學的”。

加拿大醫生表示,聲稱北京第一例 Omicron 病例來自加拿大的說法沒有科學依據。 加拿大衛生部長稱這確實是“一個非凡的觀點”。

許多人對此深表懷疑。

中國衛生當局表示,北京的一例 Omicron 病例可能是從從加拿大收到的包裹中傳播的。 隨著所謂的冬季奧運會開幕臨近,他們敦促公民停止從國外訂購包裹。

加拿大醫學專家說,這樣的貨物不太可能傳播病毒。
