Coronavirus is not transmitted through nutrition

 The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has announced that scientific data on previous outbreaks of similar coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV show that no coronavirus was transmitted through food consumption either domestically produced or imported from abroad. To date, there is no evidence that the new Coronavirus is different from the two previous ones in terms of its transmission.

The European Center for Disease Control states that the Coronavirus is transmitted through the respiratory tract by droplets from infected people coughing or sneezing or releasing droplets in any way. Coronavirus enters the respiratory system and particularly in the bronchi and the lungs thus multiplying and finally causing the well knows symptoms such as coughing, fever etc.

Coronavirus is not transmitted through the digestive system, however if a person infected by the Coronavirus contaminates the food by coughing, sneezing, etc. by transporting droplets into the food, then the infection can be transmitted and if the Coronavirus passes through the respiratory tract. The Coronavirus can also be transferred from the hands of an infected employee to the food packaging or plastic bag, so it is a good idea to use food for cooking or refrigerating for at least thirty minutes after purchase. We are even more confident if the employee wore gloves and knew how to uses them

The Coronavirus does not survive at temperatures above 63 degrees Celsius for four minutes and therefore during cooking the Coronavirus is killed. If the preparation or serving is done by an infected person then contamination is likely.
