Core taxi segment revenue up 15% year-on-year
Try to shop as soon as the store or supermarket opens as during this time not only will there be fewer buyers, but the place will probably be cleanest then. This is because the staff often sanitises the premises at night.
Carry hand sanitiser, disinfectant wipes, or disposable gloves along. Use the wipes to clean the shopping carts in case the store hasn't put any for buyers. This lowers the risk of coming in contact with contaminated carts, especially since studies have found that Covid-19 can live for two or three days on plastic surfaces.
Even door handles in the frozen food section, self-checkout screens, and credit card keypads are all risky zones. So, be sure to either wipe them down before touching, use hand sanitizer after touching, or just wear disposable gloves.
Don't touch your face
Often without realising it is possible to touch your face whilst at the store. So if you accidentally have touched a contaminated surface and then just scratch your face due to that unexpected itching, you might land in trouble.
Phone screens can be a breeding ground for many germs and viruses. So instead of keeping a grocery list on your smartphone, write it on a piece of scrap paper that can be tossed into the trash can after shopping.
As it is advisable to be at least 6 feet away from other shoppers, it can also lengthen your shopping time. But don't mind this, and move more slowly to avoid crowding.
Make sure there aren't any rips or tears in cereal boxes, potato chip bags, and produce or any other packaging. For fresh fruits, make sure there are no holes or breaks in the skin that germs could easily get into.
Surprise snacks at supermarkets are one of the perks of grocery shopping. Livestrong suggests that exposed food is an easy target for germs hence it is advisable to skip the free samples and do eat any fruits directly from the store.
If possible, stick to cards or other automatic methods of payment. You can also wipe down debit and credit cards after use.
Amid the pandemic, stores are being extra cautious about cleanliness, but it's still possible shopping bags could pick up germs at the billing counters. So, leave them outside and only bring your items into the house.
If you are using reusable shopping bags, Food Network recommends tossing them in the washing machine or wiping them down with soap and water between shopping trips.
Thoroughly rinse produce before eating. Dr. Lisa Larkin, a Cincinnati-based internal medicine physician and founder of Ms.Medicine, told Reader's Digest that you can also wipe down jars, cans, and bottles with a disinfectant wipe before putting them in your pantry for good measure.
