Is Corona virus transmitted through food or touch

 The spread of a new strain of the Coronavirus has caused great panic worldwide, after the disease has killed 106 people in China alone so far.

With the spread of many false facts about the way it is transmitted, the scientists said that the Corona virus does not spread through contact with hands, or through eating foods, but rather it spreads directly from an infected person to another through drops in the air caused by sneezing or coughing, according to a website "24 of the Emirates."

According to the World Health Organization, the virus is not likely to stick to any surface such as door handles or bus and train rails, but it is recommended that you wash your hands frequently as a precaution.

A study published in the Journal of Medical Virology also mentioned that two types of snakes, namely Chinese karate and Chinese cobra, may have been the original source of the virus, however these are only speculations based on the DNA analysis of the virus samples and the World Health Organization has not provided any confirmation of this.

In addition to the above, there was widespread speculation that the virus could be transmitted from animals, because Chinese officials tracked the spread of the disease in the Wuhan market, where live animals and uncooked meat are sold.

Some reports say that the virus can infect animals and spread among livestock, and that it can spread from animals to humans.

It is reported that some infected individuals may host the virus in their bodies without any symptoms appearing on the ground, according to the website "The News Minute".
