(6 years ago)The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is closely monitoring the situation in connection with the outbreak of coronary disease (COVID-19), which is affecting a large number of countries across the globe. There is currently no evidence that food is a possible source or route of transmission of the virus EFSA's scientific Masterpiece, Mrs. [...]
Currently, there is no evidence that food is a possible source or route of virus transmission
EFSA's scientific editor, Mrs. Marta Hugas, has said that experiences from the explosions of previous coronarys, such as the acute respiratory coronary syndrome ( SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory coronary ( MERCS-CoV, show that transmission through food consumption does not happen.
For now, there is no evidence to suggest that the coronary is different in this direction”, she says.
The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said that as long as animals in China were a potential source of initial infection, the virus is spreading from one person to another primarily through sprays when the person is pregnant or coughed.
More information on the coronary and food can be found in this FAQ from BfR, Germany's risk rating organ.
Scientists and authorities around the world are monitoring the spread of the virus and there have been no transmission reports through food.
That's why, EFSA is currently not involved in response to COVID-19 bombings, but anyway, EPSA is monitoring scientific literature for new and important information.
Regarding food safety, the World Health Organisation (OBSH/WHO) has published preliminary recommendations.
These include advice on the pursuit of good hygiene during handling and preparing food such as washing hands, preparing whole meat, and avoiding a possible cross contamination between raw and cooked foods.
