No, coronavirus can not spread through the groceries/food that we bring home. Rather, it spreads from an infected person’s mouth or nose in the form of invisible droplets suspended in the air, when they sneeze, cough, speak, sing or breathe. Therefore, the focus should be on maintaining social distance, wearing surgical masks and keeping a distance of minimum 6 ft from the infected person or avoiding contact at all.

But, don’t forget to follow good food hygiene practices after bringing the groceries/food home, to eliminate the chances of virus transmission through the surface of food or food packaging material.
