Jere COVID-19: Pwodwi jaden ak izin anbalaj yo

Pandan ke pa gen prèv ki asosye viris COVID-19 la a yon pwoblèm sekirite alimantè, li se yon pwoblèm sante pou travayè yo paske li pwopaje l pa kontak moun ak moun oswa lè w manyen yon sifas ki kontamine. Manje pa parèt tankou yon kòz ki favorize transmisyon COVID-19 la, men menm pratik yo itilize pou evite maladi ou ka pran nan manje, menm pratik sa yo ta dwe itilize pou diminye chans kontaminasyon COVID-19 la nan nan pwodwi alimentè ki fre yo epi risk pou COVID-19 ta simaye l pami travayè agrikòl yo ak sa kap travay nan izin anbalaj yo.

Sekirite alimante ak COVID-19 : Kesyon yo poze souvan : Eske kowona viris se yon pwoblem nan pwodiksyon fwi ak legim

Nan moman sa a, CDC, FDA ak USDA pa rapòte okenn ka maladi ki ta sigjere kowona viris la ka transmèt sòti nan manje oswa nan anbalaj pwodwi alimantè. Rechèch ki fèt sou viris ki menm jan an tankou SARS ak grip montre risk transmisyon viris la pou l ta sòti nan yon manje fèb anpil. Pandan ke pa gen anpil enfòmasyon sou ki kantite tan viris la ka fè sou yon sifas, risk pou transmisyon an ta sòti nan yon manje fèb epi li pa ta dwe enkyete nou.

COVID-19 mezi prevantif: mas an twal pou anplwaye ki nan sekte alimante

Daprè CDC, yon metòd efikas pou kwape pwopagasyon maladi enfektye sa a se lè w kouvri visaj ou ak yon twal oswa w mete yon mas an twal. Yo itilize mas an twal yo pou kouvri bouch ak nen yon moun ki enfekte oswa ki ta ka enfekte si l pran viris la lè yon moun ap touse, estènen oswa nan yon konvèsasyon nòmal. Mas an twal yo bay bon jan pwoteksyon si yo 1) bon kalite 2) mete yo byen 3) sèvi ak yo byen. Lè w mete yon mas an twal, li ka diminye ris men li pa bay yon pwoteksyon total kapital. Nou dwe swiv lòt metòd pou diminye ris yo tankou: pa rete pre yonn ak lòt, lave men nou, itilize sanitzè/dezenfektan pou men epi evite manyen je w, nen w ak bouch ou.
