Just as it says above really. Just had a long discuss with my mum on the phone about what was the best way to prevent getting infected by home delivery. She will ask delivery man to leave her shopping in the garage without coming near him and leave it there overnight. In the morning she will take the shopping inside and probably wipe it down. Couldn't find the figures of how long it can live on surface. Dh says it depends on the surface can be a couple of days. It looks like I'll have to wipe down my delivery too tomorrow!!!! Can't believe I'm considering it.
