Good protection when going out to buy
Fight quickly and never gather
People who go to supermarkets and wet markets to purchase, please remember before you go: fully equipped, quick battle and quick decision.
● Wear the mask correctly before going out, confirm the tightness of the mask and leave later. The environment of the supermarket is relatively closed, and wearing a mask is the best protective measure to prevent the spread of droplets.
● Do a good job of hand hygiene, use portable hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes.
● Try to avoid touching common objects, and do not touch your face, eyes, mouth, and nose with your hands. Wash your hands before touching your eyes, mouth, and nose, and rinse with soap or hand sanitizer and running water for 20 seconds.
● Follow cough and sneeze etiquette, cover coughs and sneezes with elbows or tissues, and wrap your mouth and nose secretions in tissues and discard them in the garbage can.
● Select the commercial supermarkets that have implemented formal and prevention and control measures, such as observing whether the supermarket implements ventilation and ventilation, personnel diversion, health monitoring, and whether the supermarket public supplies, facilities and areas are fully disinfected.
● When shopping, do not touch the food directly with your hands, but put the shopping bag on your hand to choose. When purchasing raw and cold foods such as meat and seafood, they should be packaged separately from fruits and vegetables, delicatessens, etc.
● Try to avoid rush hours, make a shopping list in advance, go straight to the theme, make a quick decision, and minimize the time spent in supermarkets and wet markets.
● Keep a distance of more than 1 meter from people when shopping for vegetables, try not to chat, and don't pull down the mask to talk and eat.

Wear a mask for online shopping pickup
Pay attention to hand hygiene
● For online shopping, choose a regular online store to avoid buying goods from unknown sources.
● When receiving express delivery, it is preferable to use a contactless method, such as using a smart courier to receive a box.
● When taking the courier, wear a mask, it is best to wear disposable gloves, and avoid direct contact with the outer packaging of the courier with your hands.
● After taking the courier, you can throw the outer packaging bag directly into the garbage bin, try not to bring it indoors, and when you really want to bring it in, you can use disinfectant wipes to wipe and disinfect or spray disinfection.
● After removing the outer packaging, be sure to do hand hygiene, including washing your hands with running water or using hand sanitizer.
Special reminder
Food should be stored properly
The fridge is not a safe deposit box
Proper storage and storage time contribute to the freshness and hygiene of the ingredients. When storing grain, pay attention to drying, protecting from light, low temperatures and ventilation. Vegetables and fruits can be stored in a refrigerated manner, and the time should not be too long. Animal meat and aquatic products can be frozen and stored, do not freeze-thaw repeatedly, so as not to increase food safety risks. When frozen chilled food needs to be stored in the refrigerator freezer, it should be stored in layers with cooked food. When cooking and eating frozen chilled food, it should be cooked and cooked thoroughly. Leftovers leftovers will produce nitrites if left too long, try to eat them fresh as possible.
