Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is believed to be transmitted by respiratory droplets from person to person [1]. There is usually no evidence to support the transmission of COVID-19 related with food [2]. It is important, for general food safety, to always wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds before preparing or eating food. Clean your hands all day after blowing your nose, crying, sneezing, or going to the toilet [3]. A human might be able to get COVID-19 by contacting a surface or an item that has the virus on it and then contacting their own mouth, nose, or likely eyes, but this is not considered to be the primary way the virus spreads [4].
