Affected by the heating of the epidemic of the crown disease, there are cross -border truck drivers confirmed in Hong Kong in mainland China, which caused Wenjindu port freight.Wu Yongen, chairman of the Hong Kong Food Commission, said that Wenjindu Port has returned to normal operation and is expected to start (9th) that the price of vegetables in Hong Kong will begin to fall today (9th).
Comprehensive Sing Tao Daily and the Internet media "Hong Kong 01" reported that Wu Yongen said that fresh food needs to be sent to Hong Kong via Wenjin Du, while mainland Chinese vegetables and freshwater fish account for 90 % of Hong Kong's total supply,When its supply chain is interrupted, the impact on the people will be very great; however, he believes that there is no problem with the supply, but there is a problem with the freight supply chain. The Wenjin ferment port has returned to normal operation today, and the truck can pass normally.
Wu Yongen continued, the cross -border traffic has gradually returned to normal, and the supply of fresh pork, poultry meat and eggs is generally stable.As long as the freight supply chain is not interrupted, only two to three days can alleviate the current tight food supply.He also called on the public not to hoard food.
According to the news of the port office of the Shenzhen People's Government yesterday, from the 4th to 7th of this month, five cross -border drivers confirmed the crown disease.Some of the transportation industry revealed that due to the confirmed cases, Wenjindu Port has extended the time before the night before. The official also required Hong Kong drivers and mainland drivers to present at the same time to show the health code to arrange goods to settle.The procedures have become more complicated, resulting in car dragons appearing at the port. The industry is expected that the cross -border truck the day before yesterday will only reach one -third of the weekdays.

The driver must conduct a test before entering Shenzhen to avoid the driver's diagnosis after the driver enters the mainland.Hong Kong Food and Health Director Chen Zhaoshi said that the official will also send fast test sets for these drivers as soon as possible, so that drivers can detect themselves before transit.
