So far there has been no report on the risk of COVID-19 spread through food. There is no need to worry too much about the safety of local specialties.

However, it is preferable to avoid gift exchanges between relatives and friends during the COVID-19 epidemic so as to avoid unnecessary risk of being infected by COVID-19 through contact. If the gifts have already been accepted, the outer packages should be immediately thrown away and the surface of the objects should be disinfected with 75% alcohol.
