A member asked:
I had food delivered to me and i noticed the delivery guy wasn't wearing a mask. should i eat the food now? i'm worried about him passing covid-19 (coronavirus)?

COVID concerns: Delivery guy should have been wearing a mask. However, COVID 19 is not considered foodborne. Usually delivered food is in a container. Wipe down container. Surface contamination is only a minor mode of transmission.
