The problem is that you have no idea who handled the food/packaging you plan on cooking at the grocery store or delivery service. The good news is that although the virus can live on contaminated surfaces for a relatively long time, there are no documented cases I know of that were transmitted in that fashion. Community transmission appears to be from person to person via droplets (at least for now)
