Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Frequently Asked Questions

From trusted source in Hong Kong today:
“In our laboratory, we found trace amount of the virus on the skin of fruits and vegetables after 12 hours of being touched by another customer who was infected.
We recommend our staff to avoid salads. Do not eat the fruits within 48 hours of purchase, or pour some boiling water over the fruit before cutting. Berries, apples, cucumbers and tomatoes are the worst because some people eat the skin.
This explains why the virus is spreading faster in the west than asia. Most Asians do not eat salad and very few people eat the skin of any fruit.
We have to assume anything that comes from outside our home within 48 hours is infected. Shoes, clothes, our hair, all food.”

■「水果蔬菜」部分
①美國食品藥品監督管理局、歐洲食品安全局皆認為目前【尚無】證據顯示食物(含蔬果)與傳播COVID-19有關。
②但，COVID-19的冠狀病毒的確可能在各式物體表面留存。美國FDA建議落實「清洗、分離、烹煮、正確冷藏」即可預防COVID-19的傳染。
③若仍有擔心，疫情期間可選購可剝掉皮、能烹煮的蔬果，確保不會吃到水果外皮或遺留的病毒。
■「鞋子、衣服、頭髮」部分
目前尚無COVID-19的病毒存活在布表面時間的研究，參考最相似的SARS冠狀病毒，2003年研究顯示恒定環境下(ex.未照紫外線)，「布」上約需72小時才會觀察到傳染性下降。
