With social distancing recommended to reduce the spread of covid-19, how safe is it to get groceries from a store that offers curbside pickup/loading for online orders? should i worry abt catching it that way or abt germs on the items i'm picking up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hand hygiene: Using gloves to unload/unpack and good hand hygiene should take care of potential viruses surviving on inert surfaces. Excellent idea to get curbside pickup otherwise, given circumstances.
