The corona virus is spreading and affecting almost every area of ​​our lives. Many restaurants have closed, and most are expected to move in the form of deliveries soon following the new guidelines released, and those expected to be announced in the coming days.

The interesting question that not many people thought about was whether the Corona virus can also pass through food deliveries and reach us even if we are closed at home and do not meet anyone else?

Professor Eyal Leshem, an infectious disease specialist from Sheba Tel Hashomer Hospital, told Israel Today that, "The virus can pass through food if someone who has prepared it does not adhere to hygiene rules and is sick. It is important that staff working in restaurants do not come to sick work. And healthy must wash your hands well before and after food. For surfaces, it is important to wash your hands well before and after food. "

In this regard, a Tel Aviv restaurateur says, "It goes without saying that if the cook carried the Corona virus he could transmit it in many ways. If in this case, the person who carried the virus without his knowledge, works in the restaurant, the virus will pass even if he uses gloves and hand washing every five Minutes, there's nothing to do against it ... "

"At the time, when there was a lot of research on hygiene in restaurants, many places began to put more emphasis on hygiene, and cooks who 'stinked' and did not agree to line up on this issue were fired. Restaurant owners and managers will do everything to survive this period, and if necessary to succeed, Not to close and reduce losses is to look at the cameras 24 hours a day on the hygiene of chefs, they will do it happily.
