Is it safe to order food via takeaways or delivery?
Unlike some germs, there's no indication the coronavirus can spread through food, according to the United States Food and Drug Administration.
"This is a respiratory virus, not a foodborne virus ... you can't catch it from eating food," says Michelle Danyluk at the University of Florida, which published tips on food safety amid the pandemic.
The biggest concern remains person-to-person contact. Contactless delivery, in which the order is left outside the recipient's door, reduces that risk.
For takeaways, the FDA advises restaurant workers and customers to stay at least 2m from others.
