Photo / Kevin StentThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade says there's still no evidence New Zealand beef exports were the source of Covid-19 test in a Chinese cool store. Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor said he'd received an update this morning from MFAT there was no New Zealand meat was directly implicated as the source of the positive test results. O'Connor said he'd been updated this morning that there was still no evidence New Zealand meat was the source of the positive test results - but that it was stored with products from Latin America. He didn't think the reporting would have an adverse affect on the perception of New Zealand products in international markets.
