Can the coronavirus infect fruits or vegetables? how can i clean my produce to properly disinfect it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wait and wash: It is better if you can wait 48 hours before using your produce. It can be stored in the refrigerator or outside at room temperature, then wash the produce carefully and wash basket as well before restoring. Alternatively, produce can be washed with soap and water, store in refrigerator, 24 hrs or more before using.
