Health care workers checked fish and crabs for the Covid virus in several videos that were shared on social media. The video showed health workers with PPE kits trying to put swabs inside the mouths of fish and the shells of crabs to test for COVD.

“Videos of pandemic medical workers giving live seafood PCR tests have gone viral on Chinese social media,” the caption by the user.

After being published online, one of the videos has gotten close to 2 million views. While some netizens praised the action, others were confused by it.

“That seems strange, but oh well, we can’t know for sure unless we try. Everyone knows about animal-to-human and human-to-human transmission. I don’t think it would work with marine animals, but stranger things have happened. So, go ahead and test,” someone on Twitter said.
