Covid isn't the only thing you have to worry about with re-useable bags. Many people say "oh just toss it all in the bag" to the bag person (the vulgarity filter doesn't like the word b.a.g.g.e.r) at the supermarket, even when the bag person points out that they're asking to put wrapped raw (very juicy) chicken in with (very juicy) cut watermelon chunks. Cross-contamination festering in a re-useable bag is basically a petri dish of bacteria, the least of which is salmonella.
It's important to wash re-useable bags regularly.
