Hong Kong has disposed of 200 kgs of mangoes from Taiwan following the detection of COVID-19 traces in a sample. However, Taiwan's agriculture council has not received any notice about the issue from Hong Kong authorities and[/INST] disputes the claim, stating that there is no scientific proof of COVID-19 transmission through consuming fruit contaminated with the virus. The council has asked Hong Kong to adhere to science-based standards to prevent unnecessary disruption to trade. This decision comes after a recent similar measure by Macau.
