随着新颖的冠状病毒病例正在上升,前往杂货店(或从杂货店订购)到库存在必需品上是个好主意。但是与此同时,健康专家鼓励社会疏远,作为控制病毒传播的有效方法。随着所有这些人紧密接触,所有这些表面都被成千上万的人触及,您如何确保您的杂货店旅行尽可能安全?只要交付杂货更好,如何确保食物送货是安全的?亚搏电竞

To understand the best practices for shopping, ordering, and unpacking your groceries, I spoke to Dr. Robert Amler, Dean of the School of Health Sciences and Practice at New York Medical College and a former CDC Chief Medical Officer who coordinated medical monitoring for anthrax response teams.

First, a Recap of the Basics

小说的冠状病毒不仅仅是在空中飞来飞去。它是通过从感染者的鼻子和嘴里传递给他人的,通常是通过咳嗽或打喷嚏。那滴液滴会感染您的手,然后将手触摸到眼睛,嘴巴或鼻子;如果将其直接喷在您的眼睛,嘴巴或鼻子中,或者如果它落在表面上,则触摸您的眼睛或嘴巴,或者如果它落在您吃的食物上。亚搏电竞

Before You Leave Home: Wash your hands

Wash your hands with soap and water before you leave your home. When you get to the store, you will be touching lots of surfaces —shopping carts, credit card keypads, and products that many others have touched. But Dr. Amler says before you lose your mind, to remember that most of these surfaces will not be grossly contaminated. “It’s really rare to see people sneezing on produce all day long,” he says. Keep it in perspective. And try not to touch your nose, mouth or eyes while in the store.

Once you have checked out, paid and all groceries are bagged up, he recommends washing or sanitizing hands again before heading home, and trying not to touch your face.

While Shopping: Follow the Six-Feet Rule

如果您碰巧在杂货店里,并且发现自己靠近有人咳嗽或打喷嚏,Amler博士说要离开。他说:“如果您在一个过道,有人打喷嚏至少要距离距离六英尺六英尺或前往另一个过道。”阿姆勒博士说,戴手套更多是您个人舒适区的问题。“在杂货店戴上手套是可以使用的额外保护层,特别是如果您是at higher risk, but once you have touched things with your gloves and then you touch your face with your gloves, you have defeated the purpose of that protection,” he says. “And it’s really hard not to touch your hands to your face.”

When You Get Home: Wash up Again and Scrub Fresh Produce

当您回到家时,Amler博士说要再次洗手,并在很多淡水中给您的农产品擦洗良好(不需要肥皂)。如果您担心传输,或者您年龄较大或更多处于风险类别, he says you may consider switching temporarily to frozen fruits and vegetables or packaged goods.

没有事实需要擦除杂货

“There is no scientific evidence on this point, but an extra measure of caution does not hurt,” says Dr. Amler. “But you don't need to be completely phobic about the whole thing. It’s really a matter of personal preference and precaution.”

Amler博士说,如果您将物品存储在一周左右的时间内,请不要打扰。“我们期望该病毒一次持续数周;有些估计最长为9天,但尚未得到科学证明,因此,如果您将其放在存储中一段时间​​内,那将不会有所作为。”

How Safe Is Food Delivery?

在接受到您的家中的送货方面,Amler博士重复了很多相同的建议:接受送货和进食之前,洗手,如果您接受新鲜农产品,请彻底清洗。擦除容器和所处理的任何东西。

Instacart offers no-contact delivery of groceries and other goods, Postmates users are now given options for drop-off that include having the delivery left at the door, and Fresh Direct delivery personnel will only bring your order up to your door, but cannot enter your home, and will not collect reusable bags.

超级吃和Grubhub用户总是有ability to make special delivery requests in the “Ordering Instructions” box in the checkout section of the platform, including leaving food at the door, or with a doorman. Diners can also contact their driver directly through the Grubhub app to discuss delivery arrangements as soon as a driver accepts the order.

Doordash发表了一份声明,称这是“测试增强功能,以使非接触式交付很快推出。”Doordash的“送货说明”功能允许请求食物留在门口,并留下应该留在哪里食物的照片。亚搏电竞

At Home, Keep Hands—and Surfaces—Clean

In terms of the virus’ lifespan on surfaces, Dr. Amler says the science is not clear and therefore recommends wiping down surfaces regularly with bleach (not alcohol) and washing hands frequently with soap and water (hand sanitizer is not necessary, but can be used if soap and water are not available).

是的,拍摄流感

While all of the precautions mentioned here are important, Dr. Amler says the most critical point is to stay healthy. That means getting a flu shot. “We want to avoid [any] respiratory infections,” he said. “We want people to avoid getting sick, so get your flu shot. You want to avoid that just as much as coronavirus and it’s not too late. Even though it’s not perfect, it prevents many flu cases from getting worse.”
