“The general answer is ‘yes,’ ” said Elizabeth A. Bihn, a professor at the department of food science at Cornell University. The risk of transmitting or catching coronavirus from the act of sharing food or from the food packaging itself is very low, but you should still take precautions. — If you’re concerned about receiving a food delivery, consider how you’re going to open and handle it. Open the containers in the designated spot, and transfer the food to a bowl, plate or one of your own storage containers. Take a deep breath and remind yourself that the chances of catching or transmitting the virus from food or its packaging are unlikely.
