There is no information about whether the SARS-CoV-2 virus is present on the surface of fruits and vegetables obtained from grocery stores. The goal of this study is to determine if SARS-CoV-2 was present on the surfaces of produce in grocery stores in the Philadelphia metropolitan area during the peak pandemic period. Produce from 10 stores was swabbed and then analyzed for the presence of the virus. Of the 140 fruits and vegetables tested, only one fruit sample contained SARS-CoV-2 on its surface. The results indicate that the spread of the virus through contact with produce is highly unlikely.

水果和蔬菜表面存在 SARS-CoV-2

目前尚无关于从杂货店购买的水果和蔬菜表面是否存在 SARS-CoV-2 病毒的信息。本研究的目的是确定在大流行高峰期费城都会区杂货店的农产品表面是否存在 SARS-CoV-2。对 10 家商店的农产品进行了拭子检测，然后分析是否存在病毒。在检测的 140 种水果和蔬菜中，只有一种水果样本表面含有 SARS-CoV-2。结果表明，病毒通过接触农产品传播的可能性极小。
