HANDLE EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH WITH GREAT CARE!
It’s possible to contract coronavirus from something you purchase, a package, or piece of mail—especially an Amazon package.
How can you minimize or eliminate this risk?
This morning an Amazon package appeared by my front door. Normally this sight would cause me to eagerly grab a pair of scissors, but today I didn’t do that.
As of last Friday, March 27, 2020, more than a dozen Amazon warehouses in the United States had at least one worker who had tested positive for coronavirus. Yesterday workers at Amazon’s Staten Island fulfillment center walked out, protesting unsafe working conditions. At least one employee there has tested positive for the potentially deadly disease. Today a group of Whole Foods employees is planning a “sick out” to protest conditions in the grocery store.
My husband and I were traveling, enjoying the sunny South, when coronavirus assaulted this country. We immediately began practicing different procedures for handling any mail or anything we brought into our home.
When we receive mail or a package,
we’re curious about its contents and are naturally eager to open it.
But now is the time to have patience.
Regardless of how important an item appears to be, we place every piece of mail or package we receive on our dining room table for a specific period to time according to the material it’s made from.
Therefore, whenever we buy anything and bring it into our home, we quarantine it on the table with mail and packages for the allotted time period previously mentioned. It the item requires refrigeration, we isolate it on the back of one shelf in the fridge.
We use exam gloves to handle everything that enters out home and wash our hands after touching each and every item.
After the item’s quarantine time ends, we open it and place its wrapping in the trash can outside. Then we wash our hands for twenty seconds.
When we get home from shopping, we spray the inside of our vehicle with liquid Lysol we mixed in a squirt bottle, since we haven’t been able to purchase any aerosol Lysol spray.
Although this package that arrived this morning contains something that one of our fur babies needs badly, we won’t open it until it has sat in our quarantine area for three days. When that much time passes, I’ll grab the scissors, open it, and give it to our dog.
Our babies need us to be around to take care of them.
So far, in spite of the fact that we were traveling during the outbreak and continue to shop as most people must do, we have had no symptoms of the virus. We hope you and your family remain corona-free, too!
Parents, please protect your little loved ones and do everything you can to prevent this contagion in your home!
HANDLE EVERYTHING WITH CARE AND STAY HEALTHY!
