Can one become infected with COVID-19 by eating raw meat?

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization advises against using raw meat. Other raw animal products cannot be consumed either.

The COVID-19 pandemic more than likely started in a Chinese market where live animals were traded. The virus may have been transmitted to humans by eating bats.
