Cattle farmers and ranchers continue to pro- duce high-quality beef. As COVID-19 continues to spread and impact economic activity, there is a great deal of uncertainty in terms of what it means for the beef industry, including on supply and demand. At this time, it’s impossible to measure the full effects of the virus or determine how it may continue to unfold. Can I become sick with COVID-19 from food? USDA is not aware of any reports at this time of human illnesses that suggest COVID-19 can be transmitted by food or food packaging. However, it is always important to follow good hygiene practices (i.e., wash hands and surfaces of- ten, separate raw meat from other foods, cook to the right temperature, and refrigerate foods promptly) Leah Evans, daughter of Tom and Julie Evans of Washington, poses when handling or preparing foods. with one of her cows.

Currently there is no evidence of food or food packaging being associated with transmission of COVID-19. Like other viruses, it is possible that the virus that causes COVID-19 can survive on surfaces or objects. For that reason, it is critical to follow the four key steps of food safety – clean, separate, cook and chill. Can the bovine coronavirus vaccine be used to treat people?
