<strong>Foodborne Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 Is More Evident Than It Has Been Before</strong>

Abstract: Background:Although highly strict social distancing and viral spread protection guidelines are in force, the reported numbers of COVID-19 cases across the world are still increasing. This indicates that we are still unable to completely understand the transmission routes of SARS-CoV-2. One of the possible routes that can play a significant role is the fecal-oral transmission since SARS-CoV-2 can replicate in the intestines as demonstrated by isolation of infectious virus from fecal samples of COVID-19 cases.

“…Direct transmission from person to person via aerosolized droplets and transmission from direct contact have been shown, and are widely regarded, as the main routes of transmission for SARS-CoV-2 [4,5]. Some concerns have arisen about potential virus transmission via food, food packaging and common food contact surfaces [6]. Fomitemediated transmission may represent an important secondary route of transmission for SARS-CoV-2, as it has been shown to be a mode of transmission for other viruses, including non-enveloped viruses such as norovirus [7] and rotavirus [8] as well as enveloped viruses including influenza virus [9,10].…”
