or a different cold-causing virus, such as rhinovirus.

As with the imports of animals and animal products, due to the animal
health situation in China, only a few products of animal origin are
authorized for import into the EU from China, on the condition that
they meet strict health requirements and have been subjected to
controls. For the same reasons, travelers entering the EU customs
territory are not allowed to carry any meat, meat products, milk or
dairy products in their luggage.
There has been no report of transmission of the 2019-nCoV via food and
therefore there is no evidence that food items imported into the
European Union in accordance with the applicable animal and public
health regulations governing imports from China pose a risk for the
health of EU citizens in relation to 2019-nCoV. The main mode of
transmission is from one person to another.

10. Zoonotic transmission
The hypothesis that dromedary camels are hosts of MERS CoV has
been proven by the viral RNA detection in different specimens
collected from these animals in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman and
Egypt and the isolation of the virus from nasal and faecal
samples. MERS-CoV RNA has also been detected in the milk of
camels actively shedding the virus. Whether infected camels
excrete MERS-CoV directly into the milk or the milk is cross-
contaminated during milking is unclear [38]. Infection in
dromedary camels has been reported to be either asymptomatic or
associated with only mild respiratory signs with nasal discharge.
A prospective study of two camel herds in Saudi Arabia from
November 2013 to February 2014 showed that acute MERS-CoV
infections resulted in increased anti-MERS-CoV titres, that very
young animals ( less than one month old) were also infected and
that reinfection of animals also appeared to occur, indicating
that neither maternal antibodies nor pre-existing antibodies are
fully protective. There was no evidence of prolonged virus
shedding or viraemia among the tested animals. Two
investigations, one in Qatar and one in Saudi Arabia, reported
evidence for the direct cross-species transmission of MERS-CoV
from infected camels to their owner. Also, preliminary results
from recent studies in Qatar indicate that people handling or
working with camels are at increased risk of infection with MERS-
CoV compared with people who do not have contact with camels.
