There is no clear evidence that eating take-out can prove novel coronavirus pneumonia infection because there is insufficient evidence of fecal-oral route of transmission of novel coronavirus pneumonia, whereas hepatitis A or dysentery or typhoid fever may result in infection due to consumption of items containing the virus. Although viral RNA has been identified by teams from stool and anal swabs of patients, although there is no clear evidence of fecal-oral route transmission of novel coronavirus pneumonia. However, it is still very important to be aware that close contact transmission can also cause infection, so try to eat less takeout, eat less cold food, and wash your hands regularly. If you want to order take-out, it is best to reheat it at home if you can, because the virus is not heat resistant and can be inactivated at 56°C and 30 minutes. There are reports that the virus can be completely inactivated at about 100°C and 1 minute. Therefore, it is important to eat less take-out, wash hands regularly, and not eat raw and cold food, etc. Content source: Dr. You Lai
