On July 30, the Jiangsu Provincial Traffic Prevention and Control Team issued a notice requesting that the prevention and control
of waterway epidemics be comprehensively increased.
The number of medium- and high-risk areas nationwide has risen to 73, of which 70 are medium-risk areas and 3 are
high-risk areas. The new crown pneumonia epidemic has spread from Nanjing, Jiangsu to Hunan, Liaoning, Beijing 
and other provinces and cities!
At around 7 o'clock in the evening yesterday, a service worker in the cargo area of ​​Shanghai Pudong International
Airport was diagnosed with a positive nucleic acid test, which is bound to affect the operation of cargo flights.
Although there has not been an official notification, companies in some cities have basically shut down operations
this morning.
Although the counter-attack of the epidemic has not yet had a direct and obvious impact on all enterprises, the impact on the 
logistics industry must be direct and obvious.
For example, the truck transportation capacity of Nanjing and Taixing has been reduced by about one-third.
At present, truck drivers must issue a 48-hour nucleic acid negative certificate before entering the warehouse. 
What is this concept? Inter-provincial transportation has been hit even more severely, greatly hindering 
transportation work.
When it comes to the delta strain, India has to be mentioned.
On July 31, India’s "Economic Times" published an article claiming that China unreasonably refused to accept 
1,000 containers from India. India strongly protested this, saying that China’s allegations had no “scientific
basis” and that China also No test report is shared.
In fact, the reason for the refusal was China's accusation of the new coronavirus on the outer packaging of 
imported Indian shrimp.
It is understandable that India is anxious. China is the second largest importer of Indian seafood, with frozen 
shrimp accounting for 46%. But the delta strain is damaging the world, and it's a little bit ignorant to protest
at this time.
When buying imported frozen products recently, you must be cautious.
According to data from the Ministry of Health of India on July 31, a total of 31,613,993 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed
in India, and 41,649 cases have been added in the past 24 hours.
After the delta strain, other mutant strains have been discovered one after another, and the spread is stronger.
The third wave of Indian engines is expected to arrive in August and reach its peak in October.
Recently, India’s ports have been heavily overstocked and congested, and the circulation of container ships has 
been severely delayed, resulting in cargo staying in multiple ports for several weeks.
Freight forwarders who have recently traded with India, please be prepared for delays; beware of risks such as
customs clearance at the destination port, buyer abandonment, and non-payment.
More importantly, you should protect yourself when you go out in the near future, so as not to cause trouble for
 yourself or cause chaos to your country.
