As you know now there is a pandemic and it's going crazy but don't worry here are some tips from professional scientists/ doctors.
(#1) Please wash your produce. Info says, " While there's no evidence or documented cases of COVID-19 that suggest the virus can be transmitted through food, experts told USA TODAY that there still is a chance to get sick if you pick up an item someone infected has sneezed or coughed on." One simple touch on your face when you touch the produce can contaminate the produce or worse get germs.

#2 Don't use chemicals on produce. "Don't bleach the veggies or use chlorine on the fruit. No disinfecting wipes or isopropyl alcohol, either.
"These are not safe for human consumption and could make you sick," Goulet-Miller said.
And if you digest enough soap, it could be toxic, Schaffner warns.
"Those soaps and detergents are designed for washing hands or for washing dishes and they're not designed for washing food," he said. "If you don't get it all off it might cause an upset stomach.” Friends wash food very carefully.
Protecting yourself
- wash your hands before eating with soap and warm lukewarm water for 20 secs or sing happy birthday twice.
- soak produce in water and wash with care before eating
"Even if the fruit has a peel, you should wash it first because touching it could contaminate your hands and you could then infect yourself as you eat that delicious banana."
That sounds too much. I never heard anything and I just did it so next time wash the banana because people may have touched it before you then put it back.
- No sharing food
It is crutial that you don't get someone's spit or saliva from eating from someone's plate or taking foood from someone's plate or drinking their water by accident. Just don't do it. Coronavirus is infected by the spit or saliva. Sneezing or coughing. Try not to sneeze of someone or an object. Or cough anywhere else except your elbow. I think I am gonna clean that too. If someone is sick they must eat by themselves or eat somewhere else. Hope everyone will be safe. I am praying for all. If you need some advice or have a prayer request ask.
