美国有线新闻 CNN 收外卖会感染病毒? 专家称风险很低

AZUZ: COVID-19 is not considered a foodborne illness. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says it doesn't know of any cases when someone's caught the disease through the food we eat. But some health officials are concerned there's a small chance the virus could be transmitted through packaging if someone who's sick handles it. So, they're suggesting that we throw away our take out containers, that we wipe down our groceries and that we wash our hands after touching¹ takeout boxes and containers.

阿祖兹：新冠肺炎并不是食源性疾病。美国食品药品监督管理局表示，据他们所知，没有任何病例是通过我们所食用的食物感染的疾病。但一些卫生官员担心可能有小概率事件，即病毒会通过患者接触过的包装传染给他人。因此，他们建议人们扔掉外卖餐盒，将食品擦干净，接触外卖餐盒和容器后要洗手。

Meanwhile, the restaurants that do the cooking for us are having to change the way they do business in order to stay in business.

与此同时，为我们烹饪食物的餐厅不得不为了继续营业而改变经营方式。
