In OCU noted that the experts ‘ findings do not mean that the virus can not “gain a foothold” on the surface of the goods, and therefore it is necessary not to lose vigilance and to wash food (the same vegetables and fruit) before placing them in the refrigerator.
– For maximum protection you can clean glass and plastic packaging from the supermarket with soap and water. It is advisable not to use bleach for items with porous coating, otherwise there is a risk of harm to health, experts noted.
