Almost no chance: People catch coronaviruses from one another the same way they catch a cold or the flu. It's very unlikely to catch it from the clerk on the other side of a drive-thru window. Washing hands prior to eating, is a good habit. Note that anyone with eye, ear, nose, throat, or cough symptoms can have one or more of: influenza, common cold, strep throat, pollen allergies, COVID-19 coronavirus.

Very low risk: COVID 19 is not a foodborne illness. The virus can be killed with cooking. Even though there could be contamination on a bag or container that food comes in, surface contact transission is only a minor mode of transmission,
