Kominfo Shares Tips to Prevent Covid-19 Transmission Through Food

IDXChannel – The causative virus Covid-19 has not been shown to be spread via food. Because the virus needs a host or living tissue to reproduce.

The main spread of Covid-19 is through droplets produced when people talk, cough or sneeze that enter the body through the eyes, nose or mouth.

Reporting from the Instagram upload of the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kemenkominfo), however, we can still apply safer ways of consuming food so that we can avoid disease transmission.

“For example by washing clean hands before food, ensuring food is served with a cover,” the post on Instagram said.

In addition, ensure food safety by keeping cooking and eating utensils clean. Separate cooked and raw food. Cook until completely cooked. Keep food at safe temperatures, and use clean water and safe raw materials.

In addition, just like other viruses and bacteria, the virus that causes Covid-19 is also heat-resistant, so make sure to cook food thoroughly (at least 70 degrees C) and/or reheat food if necessary. (NDA)
