3/31/2019: Q: How can I protect myself if someone else gets groceries for me?
A: When you or someone else brings groceries to your home, leave them outside until you are ready to safely disinfect the items. Remove each product from shopping bags and using a standard disinfectant, wipe or spray the outer surfaces of each plastic, metal or glass product container, leaving the surface appearing “wet” for at least 10 seconds. Place on a clean disinfected surface. Pour or dump items such as bread, cereal and crackers in properly cleaned storage containers, safely placing the wrappers and coverings aside. Thoroughly wash all fruit and vegetables with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Valuable suggestions and methods to carry out these important procedures are discussed and demonstrated in this 13 minute video:
