COVID 19: Personal Choices. COVID 19 is primarily transmitted via droplets (person to person) with minimal transmission from contaminated surfaces. Some people do wipe down their bags/ containers with wipes that have a sanitizer. We don't engage in that practice at my home. It is really about how much risk you are willing to accept. Take care.
