Does the microwave kill covid-19 on frozen food containers?

COVID-19 is basically an airborne pathogen. Chances of catching covid from a frozen food container is virtually nil, further so if it is microwaved.

Fully agree with Dr Devantzis. Surface contamination by the COVID-19 virus has been detected, but infection from this source is highly unlikely, if at all. Indeed, another instance of unnecessary panic provoked by the media. Re. frozen food containers with subsequent microwaving, no risk of a pulmonary infestation whatsoever.
