U.S. Customs agents said they seized a package of dead birds in a passenger’s baggage at the Washington Dulles airport, adding that the person recently traveled from China to the United States.
The person came from Beijing in late January and was heading to an address in Prince George’s County, Maryland, according to Customs and Border Protection (CPB) in a news release on Monday. That was before U.S. officials in early February implemented travel restrictions on passengers coming in from China to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
