Can the new coronavirus be transmitted through food?

  There is no direct evidence yet that the novel coronavirus is transmitted through food. Recent studies have shown that viral nucleic acids have been found in the stool of people infected with the virus, so the possibility of transmission by the fecal-oral route is not excluded. The main routes of transmission of novel coronavirus have been identified, including: 1. respiratory droplet transmission, coughing, sneezing, loud talking droplets and exhaled gas can be directly inhaled by susceptible persons at close range to cause infection. 2.  2, contact transmission, droplets deposited on the surface of objects, contact and contaminated fingers, and then contact with the susceptible person’s oral cavity, nasal cavity, eyes and other mucous membranes, can also lead to the occurrence of infection.
