It’s tempting to go online shopping and ordering food for delivery during the enhanced community quarantine. And there’s really nothing wrong with that since you’re supporting businesses who might be having trouble during this rocky period. What may be a cause for concern is the contact between you and the package/item, since you’re not sure who touched it before it arrived at your house.
Actress Kristen Bell, who is known to many as being the voice of Anna in Frozen, Gossip Girl in the show, um, Gossip Girl, and Veronica Mars in the show, um, Veronica Mars, has advice.

According to her, “This is what I’m doing, based on the experts’ advice: still getting packages and food delivery. I ask the delivery person to please leave the boxes outside. Then I open the packages outside – touching them with a wipe or glove.”
She added, “Dispose of the packaging and glove/wipe outside. Wipe down the contents of the package with disinfectant and bring the contents inside. I’m told you can also opt to leave your external clothing outside if you live where there is some sun.”
Kristen ended her post with, “Also I say a big thanks to the delivery person who is very busy supporting everyone now.”
