- If possible, sanitize the handles of grocery baskets or shopping carts before shopping.
- Once home, wash your hands immediately; wash them again after handling and storing your purchased products.
How should I wash fruit and vegetables during COVID-19?
- Wash fruit and vegetables the same way you would in any other circumstance.
- Before handling them, wash your hands with soap and water and then wash the fruits/vegetables thoroughly with clean water.
