RE: A friend was at a grocery store today and saw a woman sneeze, uncovered, in

OK, lets not get too far ahead of ourselves. I am a health inspector. There still is not a single case proven to be foodborne, so the likelyhood that ingesting coronavirus leads to infection is minisculely small. Even getting it in your mouth from food, and inhaling the virus from that food is very low risk. Enzymes in the mouth will deactivate the virus pretty quickly.

I'm not saying the risk is zero, but a person would be more likely to get the infection from the air droplets in the air where she sneezed than the food the particles landed on.
