What are the guidelines in your area where you live?

This is the part stressing me out the most regarding preventative measures.

Groceries : how far do you need to go?

Amazon boxes: !?!? Lots of workers lack ppe, cleaning supplies, test +

Etc.

As far as they know, the Coronavirus doesn't last that long on paper or cardboard - at most 24 hours versus 72 hours on plastic or stainless steel. Oddly it only lasts 4 hours on copper :-).

When I get packages from amazon, I just put them in a corner and wash my hands thoroughly. After 2 days or so I feel safe opening them.

With groceries, I put the pantry items in a corner and wash my hands. I put refrigerated and freezer items away. I know people who do wash down the containers before putting away but I am not doing that. I do wash and dry all produce before putting in the refrigerator.
