2 experts share advice for safely shopping for groceries during the coronavirus pandemic

Grocery stores are still open, but that doesn't mean you should shop as normal. Business Insider spoke to two experts to find out what precautions shoppers should take amid the coronavirus pandemic.

While Meyer said that wiping down groceries before putting them away is not necessary, Cioe-Peña recommended doing just that, as viruses can live on certain surfaces for as long as several days.Grocery stores are remaining open as coronavirus shuts much of America down. But, just because they're open for business doesn't mean that you should go about your shopping as usual.

"Because people assume that because it's an essential area, they bump into people, they talk to people, they do the whole social thing. But you don't get a pass on social distancing for just being at the supermarket. You still have to avoid people," Cioe-Peña said. Meyer emphasized the importance of washing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds after handling groceries.Both experts said that in-store, the most vital actions a shopper can take to avoid becoming infected are to avoid others and to wash their hands once they get home. Also important is making sure to sanitize or avoid surfaces that many others may have touched, like shopping cart handles, door handles, and payment machines.

Cioe-Peña, on the other hand, recommends setting up a sanitation area for groceries and wiping down each individual product with soap and water.
