Notice of Temporary Suspension on Commercial Imports of Live Hamsters into Hong Kong, China |
| Summary |
A number of human COVID-19 cases in Hong Kong, China were found to be linked to hamsters tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 virus. Epidemiological investigation as well as viral sequencing suggest that hamsters, which were previously imported into Hong Kong, China, are the source of human infection. Commercial imports of live rodents and lagomorphs into Hong Kong, China were temporarily suspended between 18 January 2022 and 31 March 2022 for precautionary purpose. This emergency measure was adjusted from 1 April 2022 to cover only the temporary suspension of commercial imports of live hamsters.
