How Can I Stay Safe When Going Grocery Shopping?

5/27/2020

4 Comments

 

There are several steps you can take before, during and after you go grocery shopping to keep yourself and others safe.

Before you go

Picture
  • Only make needed trips. Don't go to the store if you're sick, and be extra cautious if you or a loved one is more likely to get sick from COVID-19.
  • Wash your hands.
  • Consider ordering groceries online for pick up or delivery.
  • Check for special hours. Many stories offer special shopping hours for people over 60, pregnant people, and those with medical conditions

At the store

Picture
  • Wear a cloth face covering that covers your nose and mouth.
  • Use hand sanitizer or an antiseptic wipe to clean the handles of a grocery cart or basket.
  • Keep your distance of at least six feet between you and others, even in the checkout line.
  • Cover your coughs and sneezes.
  • Don't touch your face.
  • Save some for your neighbors. Only buy what you need so there will be enough for everyone.

When you get home

Picture
  • Wash your hands.
  • Practice food safety. Don't disinfect your groceries. Wash your fruit and vegetables as you normally would.

I liked it when you mentioned people who are bound to get affected should look for grocery stores that offer special hours so they get to shop while minimizing the risk to the virus. My mother is worried that she has to go buy her own groceries amid the COVID-19 pandemic since my brother who is living with her needs to go to for an outstation. I will advise her to go during special hours and get a germseal shopping cart liner to protect her food items so they are completely safe.

thanks for these tips on planning your visit to a shopping center ahead when you want to enjoy the events that would be held there. It’s been so long since I went to a mall since the pandemic started. So I hope they would start opening soon and holding different events.
