Chinese are staunch believers that the virus spreads with packages. Every time they get an outbreak the government has blamed things like, Norwegian salmon and packages from Canada to start the outbreak. The result is the local government is very mindful of this so they will be very reluctant to let packages travel freely between provinces and cities so what happens is the food trucks arrive in Shanghai and are not allowed to enter before they have been cleared and disinfect the packaging and sometimes they have to wait several days leading to the food in the trucks going bad so when they are finally allowed in their food has become rotten and all they can do is dump the food and throw it all away. My wife works a lot with the package companies and it's pretty much impossible to send things across provinces these days and when it's possible it takes 2-3 weeks for the packages to be cleared for entry.
