How can groceries be sanitized?
"PSA Safe Grocery Shopping in COVID-19 Pandemic" by Dr. Jeffrey vanWingen
It is imperative to disinfect all groceries. The Coronavirus can live on cardboard for up to one day, and up to three days on plastic. It is benefical to leave the groceries that are received in your garage for up to three days to make sure that COVID-19 does not come into your home. However, once you do bring in the groceries, make sure to disinfect the table you place them on.
COVID-19 may have put our lives on halt, but basic necessities, such as groceries, should be accessible for those people who have restrictions in getting these items for themselves. Our volunteers will practice social distancing while delivering these groceries by maintaining a non-contact form of delivery.
