Questions and answers (European Commission) What happens if a food business worker is infected with COVID-19?Specific protocols have been established in the food processing industry to protect the health of workers.These measures are in addition to standard food hygiene and worker safety practices, and are adapted to the possibilities on the ground.Such measures include maintaining social distance during work, using Plexiglas when distance cannot be maintained, avoiding contact between truck drivers and the food facility, having hand sanitizers, working shifts to ensure that there are no more workers in the installation than are strictly necessary, or, as far as possible, work from home.Pursuant to the specific recommendations for COVID-19 currently in force, anyone with symptoms of COVID-19 must stay home to avoid spreading the virus.Even if people can be infected without being (still) sick (the asymptomatic carriers of the virus), current legislation minimizes the risk of virus particles coming into contact with food, as anyone who works In a food handling area, you must maintain a high level of personal hygiene, including wearing suitable, clean and, if necessary, protective clothing, and constantly apply good hygiene practices (wash your hands regularly, do not allow practices unhygienic, such as sneezing or coughing while handling food, etc.).There are good reasons to consider that the sanitation measures in force are as effective with respect to COVID-19 as with respect to other microbiological risks.On the other hand, food companies must adopt additional sanitation measures, when appropriate and depending on the risk, and even more so if a worker has tested positive for the virus.These measures, together with the fact that there is no evidence that food is a source of transmission, offer guarantees on the safety of food production.
