1. Shopping For Groceries During COVID-19
As grocery shopping remains a prerequisite during this pandemic, many people have questions
about how to buy safely. We want to encourage consumers that there is currently no evidence of
human or animal food or food casing being associated with the transference of the coronavirus
that causes COVID-19. This particular coronavirus causes respiratory infirmity and is spread
from person to person, unlike foodborne abdominal or GI viruses, such as microbe and hepatitis
A that frequently make people ill through contaminated food. But questions are encompassing
how to best protect yourself and others. While your grocery store may be temporarily out of
certain products, there are no national shortages of food. Food production and manufacturing
are spread all over the United States. During this pandemic, customers are getting most of their
food from grocery stores, and many stores have reformed their operating hours to allow for
additional time to restock shelves and clean. In addition, many stores are providing specific
hours for seniors or other marginal individuals to shop and are offering pick-up and delivery
services. Also, you can look over the store’s website or call the store to learn more.
Do I need to sterilize my food when I get home?
No, you don’t need to sterilize your food, and doing so can be dangerous. The chemicals and
soaps you might use aren’t endorsed for food use, and we don’t know if they’re even efficacious.
Instead, wash your staples under cool running water and dry them with a clean towel. You also
don’t need to wait to unbox your groceries. Instead, just wash your hands after unboxing.
Should I wear gloves in the grocery store?
It’s not recommended that you wear mittens in public, in part because they can help spread
germs. Human hands often have contagious, built-in defenses in the skin. COVID-19 can
prodigally survive longer on gloves than it would on hands. In certain contingency, wearing
gloves is advised. For example, if you’re in contact with a surface that is likely contaminated,
you can wear gloves and then take them out when you’re done. Hand washing is still the best
coronavirus prevention method.
Should I wear a mask while shopping?

2. Wearing a mask can help obviate others from becoming ill. You can have COVID-19 and not
know it, so wearing a domino can help keep you from spreading the virus if you’re symptomless.
Following physical distancing, guidelines are also important while grocery shopping.
To help preserve yourself, grocery store workers, and other shoppers, it is important to
keep a few things in mind:
● Making a shopping list in advance. Buy just 1 to 2 weeks' worth of groceries at a time.
Buying more than you need can produce superfluous demand and temporary
shortages.
● Carry your wipes, or use one provided by the store to remove the handles of the
shopping cart or basket. If you use renewable shopping bags, make sure they are
cleaned or washed before each use.
● Practice physical distancing while shopping – keeping at least 6 feet between you,
other consumers, and store employees. Keep your hands at a distance from your
face.
● Sponge your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds when you come
back home and again after you put away your groceries.
● Again, there is no evidence of food packaging being connected with the transmission
of COVID-19. However, if you wish, you can remove product packaging and allow it
to air dry, as an additional precaution.
Food is a provenance of comfort, as well as nourishment for you and your family – mainly now –
and we hope this advice will help you continue to shop groceries with care and confidence.
