The Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) has destroyed another pallet of milk from Hong Kong yesterday, after detecting SARS-CoV-2 on the outer plastic wrapping of the cargo. The bureau did not disclose how much milk was scrapped, although another batch of milk destroyed on March 1 was reported by the bureau as weighing 720kg. The bureau said that it regularly sanitizes incoming cargo but did not explain why this batch of milk was destroyed rather than sanitized.
