I always wash them as soon as I get them home. Virus or not
I have always rinsed apples with water prior to the pandemic. While I was sanitizing all my groceries, I would wash the apples with Dawn dish washing liquid and rinse really well with water. I've read that it is not good practice to use soap on produce but why not? I had always heard that Nuns used to wash your mouth out with soap when you said a curse word. Everyone still alive? I think so.

Now, I'm back to just rinsing apples with water.
