While we are told that the virus will return this summer, it is probably worth reviewing your classics before going shopping at the supermarket. So, like a virtual booster shot, here’s 8 rules of hygiene simple to follow to limit the risk of contamination.
Two and a half years later, when we are (almost all) multi-vaccinated, we still run the risk (even if it is low) ofinfect our airways by going to buy or by consuming a food that would have been handled by a carrier of the virus.
In 2020, thehandles (National Health Security Agency) had published a list of precautions to take to shop while limiting the risk of spreading the virus. She had also added simple hygiene rules to follow at home with the products purchased, and in particular fresh products. It’s probably worth putting them back in the spotlight to finally have a quiet summer!
8 hygiene rules when shopping
- We don’t shop and you don’t cook for the whole family if you yourself are affected.
- Before going out, we take our own bags to avoid store baskets and wash your hands with hydroalcoholic gel.
- During the races, we respect the distance of 1.5 m with anyone else and you don’t touch their face.
- returned home, we wash our hands again.
- We let his groceries rest for three hours except the fresh ones that we put in the refrigerator without their packaging because they could have been contaminated by soiled hands.
- We wash our hands after handling packaged products.
- Unwrapped products are wiped with a paper towel or a damp cloth.
- We rinse fruits and vegetables with clear water, that’s enough. No detergent or bleach.
It is worth remembering that exposed to 65°C and above for 4 minutes, the virus is destroyed. All cooking methods destroy viruses. The bread is baked at high temperature. It is not contaminated unless it has been handled by a patient. We will therefore prefer packaged breads.
