Disinfectant wipe everything, including mail, newspapers, and any other delivery..

Shoes stay in garage, clothing used for outside shopping gets stripped and washed.

Always masked and gloves when in public, reuse mask by disinfecting in oven at 300 degrees, throw gloves away...

The only way to stay safe in these times...

Forgot to add, my wife is a BSRN with infectious disease experience and if she had her way, I would be gowned and double masked in the public...

I disinfect or soap-wash food packaging when practical, or throw away outer packaging BusyBeingBest Apr 2020 #3

Good advice, that's what I'm doing too appalachiablue Apr 2020 #4

That just doesn't make sense! If it can live on surfaces, it can live on packaging! Squinch Apr 2020 #5
