It is not likely for the novel coronavirus to contaminate vegetables, meats or fruits through droplet transmission and direct contact.

Wash vegetables, meats and fruits with running water, cook vegetables and meats before eating, peel fruits whenever possible, and separate chopping boards and knives for raw food from those for cooked food.

The novel coronavirus can be effectively inactivated by 56 ° C for 30 minutes, while the cooking temperature can reach 100° C or even higher.

Wash hands after processing food.
