A member asked:
Should i still eat meat delivered from italy, like prosciutto, if it's only cured and not cooked? could coronavirus be transmitted through uncooked (but cured) meat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Must be handled : While coronavirus is not foodborn per se, it is the handling by the food handlers and if they have not washed their hands properly and have the virus it could be on the meat. The fact that it is eaten without heating I would not it.
