Chief veterinarian: foods and their packaging do not spread the coronavirus
Based on the scientific knowledge so far, food and its packaging do not play a role in the spread of the coronavirus, the national chief veterinarian said on Friday at an online press conference, held by the operational tribe responsible for controlling the pandemic.
Bognár Lajos explained that according to the studies of international organizations, the virus spreads primarily from people to humans by droplet infection; food-borne infection did not occur.
He emphasized that it is important to follow general hygiene rules when cooking at home, as heat treatment of food kills the virus, which dies above 60 degrees Celsius, so boiling or baking for a few minutes makes it non infectious. (MTI)
