Food handlers play an important role in the transmission of diseases. The study was conducted to evaluate food safety knowledge and practices of street vendors in Aswan city, using standardized survey tool to test food safety knowledge and practices of street food vendors. Aim: This research is aimed to determine the prevalence of COVID-19 among food handlers and its implications on the health of food consumers in Aswan city.

Data was collected through face-to-face interviewing of street food vendors, with observations of general hygiene and cleanliness. And also, an electronic questionnaire was designed and distributed to consumers. Descriptive analysis (frequency, percentage, mean) was performed using SPSS version 22.0. Results: No reliable standardized information is available regarding the numbers of street food vendors. The lowest ratings were found in the hygiene of food preparation and serving. A structured questionnaire was administered to (169) street vendors and (323) public consumers in Aswan. Most vendors are male (86.4%).

This study constructs the network diffusion model of food safety scare behavior under the effect of information transparency and examines the network topology and evolution characteristics of food safety scare behavior in a numerical simulation. The main conclusions of this study are as follows. (1) Under the effect of information transparency, the network degree distribution of food safety scare behavior diffusion demonstrates the decreasing characteristics of diminishing margins. (2) Food safety scare behavior diffusion increases with the information dissemination rate and consumer concern about food safety incidents and shows the characteristics of monotone increasing. And with the increasing of the government food safety supervision information transparency and media food safety supervision information transparency, the whole is declining characteristic of diminishing marginal. In addition, the extinction of food safety scare behavior cannot be achieved gradually given a single regulation of government food safety supervision information transparency and media food safety supervision information transparency. (3) The interaction effects between improving government food safety supervision information transparency or media food safety supervision information transparency and declining consumer concerns about food safety incidents or information transmission rate can engender the suppression of food safety scare behavior diffusion.
