Ditto.

We do & will continue for the time being. We bring bags into the garage & wipe each item down with our diluted bleach spray solution & a rag, then hand to the other to put away. Doesn't take long & makes us feel better about any item that may have been touched by multiple people (or even coughed or sneezed on by someone without a mask). We no longer "quarantine" our mail but do wipe down delivered boxes. I've always been a germaphobe so this pandemic sure didn't help!

I spent 30+ years in the restaurant business. I learned early on the benefits of cleaning/sterilizing containers and surfaces. We used a bleach solution to clean most things and I continue today practicing those sanitizing habits.

ALL canned goods as well as ALL pre-packaged items are put into corrugated cardboard boxes (cases) then sent to warehouses waiting to be sent to various locations. ALL of those warehouses have some level of rodent problems, no matter how small the rodent problem is, those rodents will ultimately urinate or defecate on those cases of product, any product.

That is why we always sterilize our canned goods including beer and soda cans. The boxes that cereal and crackers etc. come in not so much because of the product us in a plastic bag so we just discard those outer cardboard boxes then put the bags in the cupboard.

We will eliminate most of any concerns coming into the house.

Its not about Covid19, it's about food safety for us.

Yes, still sanitizing with a spray bottle of bleach solution, let it sit for about a minute, then wipe down and put it away. Wash fruits and vegetables. Then wash counter tops and hands. Florida has had 4 days of over a 1000 new cases per day, surges in Marion and Lake, about 100 hospitalizations per day in Florida, so I'm sticking with it for a while.

I never sanitized my groceries. I did wash my hands a lot. Used hand sanitizer and wore a mask. That's it.

I have always washed my fruit & veggies bcs they are handled by various people, travel to get to a store, handled again, sit out on display tables for a while until they go into your cart, then they are on the cashier counter.
I always wash them as soon as I get them home. Virus or not

Still washing
 

Yes I still take precautions. The virus has not gone away and is still able to harm you.

I also put on my seatbelt even if no accident has happened for over 6 months.

Stay safe for yourself and others.

We still do for now. I had gotten a hydrolizer before the covid-19 lockdown and use it hydrolize water with pure salt (and a little white vinegar to help lower the ph). It works similar to a salt water pool except the resultant ph is much lower, around 5, and the free chlorine level is 200ppm. So it has the same sanitizing power as bleach would, but much less harsh. We use it to spray and sanitize groceries, mail, countertops, etc. We were using it for cleaning kitchen surfaces even before covid-19 and we will keep using for that.

Washing my hands is all that I have done since this situation began. No wearing of masks, and because everything shut down, there wasn't much socializing. I am in the "high risk" group, but when I analyzed everything that was "recommended" by the media, I realized that it was way more than what was needed. The only advice that made sense was washing your hands and keeping them away from your face.

Personally I don't think the "experts" really know everything there is to know about this virus. They keep changing their opinion on what transmission is all about. With a spouse who is at risk I say it does no harm, and in the off chance it does some good, I'll take the extra time to wipe things down. Her life is worth more than a few minutes of my time... Everyone has the option and can do it or not do it...

Ditto here except no gloves.

If you think the groceries are "clean" why wash your hands !!!!... Ask ourselves "just how many hands" have the groceries been thru......Covid is an "unseen" virus.. and as the CDC still have no clue about its REAL spread, ( changing their advice weekly) you have 2 choices.... be safe and sanitize or spread it to others by not caring.

I don't think that it's so much that they are changing their opinions. I believe that they are learning new things about this virus every day. They are dealing with something they've never dealt with before and are giving us the best information that they have at the time.

I must be immune to rodent urine and poop. I've never sanitized anything that I brought into the house before this pandemic. I can count on three fingers how many common colds I've had as an adult and can remember only one cold with a 102 fever for a couple of days so I guess that was a mild flu.

Glad I've stopped sanitizing for this new corona virus. I'm going back to my old ways.

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.
