Here is what we know:
No evidence currently shows that food is a likely source or route of transmission of the coronavirus (COVID-19), according to the European Food Safety Authority, which is based in Parma, Italy.
The virus is spreading from person to person, mainly via respiratory droplets that people sneeze, cough or exhale, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
Precautionary measures from the World Health Organization (WHO) for following good hygiene practices during food handling and preparation, such as washing hands, cooking meat thoroughly and avoiding potential cross-contamination between cooked and uncooked foods.
