Exclusive translation: Health experts have warned that broccoli and berries may cause infection with the Corona virus, after they found that the virus can live on popular foods for up to a week.
Health experts revealed that the virus that causes Covid-19 can live in some ready-to-eat groceries for several days, according to the Daily Mail.
The tests were conducted by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), and found that the Corona virus lives longer on foods with uneven surfaces, such as broccoli and berries.
Lab tests have shown that SARS-CoV-2 can be found on food packaging and items, including fruit and bottled drinks, that people may put in their mouths without cooking or washing.
Results varied, with most of the foods tested showing significant decreases in levels of virus contamination within the first 24 hours.
And for peppers, bread crust and cheese, the infectious virus was detected for several days under some conditions.
