I don't worry anymore about who has touched my merchandise in a grocery store. I've long stopped wiping every single grocery item down with sanitizer once it was stated by the CDC that the virus is not primarily transmitted by touching a surface. I do not ever touch my face with unwashed hands so I have no worry there. It has also been stated by the CDC that food does not transmit the virus so, no, I'm not concerned if people adjust their masks with their hands.
I do, however, wash apples that will not be cooked. It just makes me feel better to do that.
