Q: How should I disinfect food or grocery? 💁 Tracy: Food in supermarkets may get infected with droplets or via touching by people carrying the virus. But don’t panic, you can enjoy the food as long as the food is disinfected. Please pay attention to and follow the recommendations below: Wash your hands thoroughly before and after preparing food. Please do not use the same knives and chopping boards for cooked and raw food, especially for raw meat and fish. Knives and cutting boards need to be washed after each use and disinfected with bleach frequently. Cook and/or heat food thoroughly. Do not eat raw meat, eggs, and milk, for example, sashimi, half-cooked steak, etc. If you are not sure about milk, boil the milk before consuming it. Wear gloves if needed to handle food packaging and containers coming back from supermarkets, including paper bags, plastic bags, plastic food wrappers, and fast-food boxes. Disinfect food containers before opening them. Heat take-o
