Newborn babies, fish, stray dogs and more...what will China test for Covid next?
For more than two years, the coronavirus pandemic has been a major global health concern. During this time, countries have started large-scale covid testing efforts during this time. Most of us have undergone the Coronavirus test at one point or another, some more than once.
The prize, however, goes to China, whose rigorous Zero-covid policy and exhaustive testing have expanded beyond humankind to include animals, non-living things like trucks and more.
Let's take a look:
Food items
All of us have gone through the paranoid stage where we disinfected everything that came into our houses, even fresh foods like fruits and vegetables. However, two years later despite World Health Organization (WHO), claim that there is currently no proof that COVID-19 can be spread through food or food packaging, the country continues to randomly test foods, including different types of seafood, fruits like kiwis, etc.

Cats and dogs
The tests have also been conducted on cats and dogs, both stray and pets. These creatures in particular have endured a great deal of suffering, with many being abandoned by their owners and others being taken away by force. Earlier, images of terrified dogs and cats packed inside sacks were also circulated on social media.
