A member asked:
Has anyone caught covid-19 (coronavirus) from ordering take out or delivery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Per the CDC:: Currently there is no evidence to support transmission of COVID-19 associated with food,” “It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.” I have seen no reports of any foodborne COVID 19 transmission.
