Can I get 2019 coronavirus disease from eating fruits and vegetables and meat and eggs? Food is safe to eat if it is thoroughly cooked and properly handled during preparation: avoid contact with sick animals and spoiled meat; separate cutting boards and knives for handling raw and cooked food; wash your hands between handling raw and cooked food; and do not eat sick or diseased animals that have died of illness. Can paying cash for something cause infection with 2019 coronavirus disease? Food is safe to eat if it is thoroughly cooked and properly handled during preparation: avoid contact with sick animals and spoiled meat; separate cutting boards and knives for handling raw and cooked food; wash hands between handling raw and cooked food; and do not consume sick or disease-causing animals. Available evidence suggests that 2019 coronavirus disease is spread primarily by contact and droplet transmission. Droplets are produced when a person coughs or sneezes and fall on the surface of objects in close proximity. Therefore, our recommendation for preventing the transmission of respiratory illnesses, including 2019 coronavirus disease, is to wash your hands frequently with soap and water or alcohol-based waterless hand sanitizer, including after touching cash or coin surfaces.
