In this month’s cover article,
“Coronavirus Sur- rogate Persistence and Cross-Contam- ination on Food Service Operation Fomites,” the study
investigated the persistence and
transfer rate of phi 6 bacteriophage (a SARS- CoV-2 surrogate) on food contact surfaces and fomites commonly present in food service operations. The results indicate that food contact surfaces, fomites, and hands can serve as sources of viral transmission within food service operations. These results can be used by the food service industry to address sanita- tion practices and by public health agencies to provide science-based recommendations to stakeholders. See page 8.
