I would like to know how safe take out & delivery is at this stressfull virus time? What if the cooks have the virus and don't know it? Any thoughts?

We've used takeout. I pick up my food, come home and wash my hands.
I can't worry about all the what if's in the world.

It's about as safe as it's always been.
It's the only way to keep restaurants in business, and people to have jobs, so that the economy doesn't get worse, and have unemployment grow.

CDC & WHO websites are a great resource!

This question was asked on the Today show yesterday heat kills the virus and if you are at all scared heat the item for 30 seconds in the microwave and you should be fine

We've been doing take-out--it's safe.
If you are nervous about it, take the food out of the take-out container, put it on a microwave safe plate and microwave the food---that should kill any virus germs if they are there.
God bless!

I would still worry about take-out/delivery! I know we are all suppose to help to keep the restaurants from closing down but we don't do it at the present time.

It's as safe as the people who prepare it are careful about their sanitation. If a place doesn't look clean, I pass.

@I am still oxox A few seconds, like 30, in the micro isn't going to kill anything in a mealsize portion. I heard that report too. It's the packaging I'd be most worried about.

I've been thinking about that too.
I guess to be more safe, I wouldn't but sometimes, you just think, ah heck, I'm going to and hope it will be ok.😬
I've heard the risk is low but advice was to take it out of the box or container, transfer it to a plate. Throw the box away and wash your hands well.
