Collapse ▲Holiday Gatherings During COVID-19
There are no documented cases of COVID-19 being contracted from food consumption, but cases have been identified wherein food was served or sold resulting in person-to-person transmission, especially without face coverings. The highest risk of transmission of COVID-19 is being around others without exercising minimum recommended physical distancing or wearing of a face covering, so alternate methods of sharing food like contactless food delivery can reduce your risk of getting or transmitting COVID-19. If hosting a gathering, try to maintain physical distance, wear a face covering that fits securely over the nose and mouth and wash hands and/or use hand sanitizer frequently.
