the relationship between covid-19 and food supply suggest some animal-origin foods as an excellent vehicle of sars-cov-2

In the present study, we evaluated the impact of animal-origin food consumption on the recent pandemic of coronavirus-19 (covid-19). thus, the relationship among animal-origin food supply as independent factor and total cases of covid-19 as a dependent variable was assessed. in this regard, the relevance between the consumption quantity of foods (n = 20) and the number of total case of covid-19 in worldwide countries (n = 215) was evaluated. food supply (kg/capita/yr.) was estimated in each country based on the latest available data of fao. the results showed an association between a group of animal-origin foods and tc. regression, bayes, and lasso ҆ s findings demonstrated that eggs and freshwater fish have a high positive correlation with tc. we suppose an important role for animal-origin foods concerning covid-19 as a cross-contamination pathway. in conclusion, a noticeable vehicle for sars-cov-2 may be some of the animal-origin foods. the perspective is the development of surveillance of sars-cov-2 in the food production chain. also, chicken‘s eggs and freshwater fish may be leading vehicles for sars-cov-2 by cross-contamination.
