The spread of the Corona virus and the lockdown around the world have greatly boosted online shopping, but with the opening of the lockdown, the markets have regained their momentum.
However, the risk of corona virus has not diminished and precautions must be taken to avoid it.
Bringing home bargains without leaving home unnecessarily is a task that can't be done without going out, so US experts have identified places in grocery stores where the corona virus may be present.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued some safety guidelines for shopping in grocery stores after the lockdown.
According to the CDC, grocery stores may contain corona virus on the packaging of various items, but there are some places that can be a breeding ground for the virus, such as door handles and credit card machines.
The CDC says touching these areas should be avoided as much as possible.
The CDC has clearly warned that if the virus is present on these surfaces, it can be transmitted to human hands and if these hands are placed on the face, nose or eyes, the person may be infected with the corona virus.
The CDC has directed that the following safety guidelines be followed while shopping in grocery stores.
Be sure to use a face mask and keep it on until you leave the grocery store.
Keep a distance of 3 feet.
When taking a shopping cart, urge the store staff to sanitize its handle, otherwise keep sanitized wipes with you and do it yourself.
Go at times when the least people are likely to be.
Use hand sanitizers from time to time.
When you get home, wash your hands with lukewarm water and soap for 20 seconds.
If possible, shop online safely at home.
