can live in the air for 3 hours
can live on cardboard for 1 day
can live up to 3 days on metal/plastic
Some Coronavirus species can live frozen up to 2 years in freezing temperatures

List of sanitizing products confirmed to be effective in eliminating the new coronavirus in the EPA list

If you have to go to the physical store to shop
Before using the cart, use disinfectant wipes/alcohol tablets to clean the cart, not only the handle, but also the part of the entire cart that touches the product.
It is necessary to be sure to buy the product before actually taking it, so as to avoid unnecessary unnecessary contact.
· Try to prepare the shopping list within two weeks in advance to reduce the frequency of going to the supermarket & needing to clean the purchased goods
·If there are elderly people over 60 years old at home, please don`t let them go out. The elderly are at high risk of severe illness in this epidemic, and we must protect them.
·Although using your own shopping bag is definitely the most environmentally friendly concept, you can consider buying paper/plastic bags from the store during special periods, and recycle them after cleaning to avoid carrying bags into the room; if you buy with your own shopping bags, please Make sure that after putting the ingredients clean at home, the shopping bag should be left unattended for three days before touching it again.
· You can use disposable gloves when you go out shopping, and throw them away after shopping (don't touch the car and steering wheel)
When handling the following packages/delivery/fresh ingredients, it is also recommended to use disposable gloves. During the processing, you can continue to disinfect & touch the disinfectant from time to time to avoid hand allergies or discomfort.
long lasting packages
If there is a garage/idle space at home, it is recommended to put the package in this space (usually no one will walk/pass/take items) for 3 days, and then open the box after 3 days. And don't have contact with the courier, wait for them to drop the package at the door, and then go out to pick it up after a while.
Home-bought food from the store/delivery service (raw food/food requiring reheating/fresh fruits and vegetables)
First find an open platform (such as Kitchen Island in the kitchen) or an open space just after entering the house, first clean the platform with wipes/spray that can effectively disinfect, and then divide the plane into two areas (such as the picture below) Paste it directly into two areas with a blue plastic bag)

Since the plastic case was still touched before it was bought home, it still needs to be wiped and disinfected and placed in a clean area. (The left side of the picture is the undisinfected area, and the right side is the disinfected and clean area)

Plastic soft shell goods (vegetables/bread, etc.), unsealed
If the outer layer of a Broccoli is a layer of plastic sealing film, you can open the plastic sealing film with your hands, and put your hands in a clean area without touching the contents.
A clean plate can be placed in the clean area ready for pick-up
In addition, place a bowl in the clean area to catch the bought bread

sealed paper casing
The outer shell must be touched within 1 day, but the inner plastic packaging bag is relatively safe (commodity packaging-->shipping-->putting it on a fake-->buying by consumers, the intervening time is long enough. The safety time of the inner bag of the box is sufficient.)
After opening the carton, pour out the inner bag of plastic bags and discard the outer packaging carton; the corner that is touched with your fingers, etc., are also using disinfectant paper towels
It is more comfortable to wipe it again.
Insider Tip: If there is a shelf life, remember to write it on the plastic packaging to remind yourself to avoid expiry.

Fresh dishes/fruits
The rind of the fruit is touched by human hands. Rinse fresh vegetables/fruits with clean water for 20 seconds, during which you must turn carefully to confirm that every corner is washed. It is not good for the body to wash it together with detergent to avoid being eaten.

Fortunately, you don't have to worry too much about the virus in the food itself (it is not resistant to high temperature), but you need to pay attention to the Containers/Wrap that coats the food.
Prepare several cleaned dishes on a clean surface (wash with dishwashing liquid for more than 20 seconds). If the ingredients such as hamburgers are opened by hand, pour the hamburgers into the plates (do not touch the hands to eat them). food)
