COVID-19 can be spread through vegetables and fruits, but because the carrier of virus transmission is living, the activity of virus will start to weaken after it adheres to the surface of goods, and it can only survive for 48 hours at most. Therefore, we need to wash the fruits after buying them, and remember to replace stagnant water with flowing water, so as to wash away some other bacteria and dirt and then let the fruits stand for a while without eating them immediately, which can effectively kill COVID-19 on vegetables and fruits, but this method is more suitable for long-term preservation.
Wash the fruit with light salt water or baking soda. Salt water has a certain bactericidal effect, which can destroy some viruses and eggs. You can mix low-concentration salt water with home salt, then soak vegetables and fruits in it for about ten minutes, and finally rinse with flowing water, which can play the recommended bactericidal role. Similarly, baking soda can also be effectively disinfected. You can buy a little baking soda and put it in water, then wash the fruits and vegetables and soak them in it, and finally wash them with salt water. The effect is similar to that with salt water. Peel off the skin of vegetables and fruits when eating, because the virus can't enter the inside of these things.
Vegetables and some fruits can be cooked, and it is best not to eat them raw. When heated at a high temperature above 56 degrees Celsius, COVID-19 will soon lose its activity, and most unwashed bacteria can hardly survive at a high temperature of 100 degrees. So as long as we don't eat raw food and eat more cooked food, it is difficult for the virus to infect us. High temperature heating is the most reliable disinfection method.
