THINGS YOU SHOULD AVOID TOUCHING WHEN YOU VISIT A GROCERY STORY NEAR YOU! 

Despite lockdown and measures being carried out by all to fight against the deadly COVID-19, the rise in cases and death don't seem to stop. Everyday more and more people are getting infected while others are passing away due to the virus. 

According to a Times of India (ToI) report, a small visit to a local grocery store can put your life at risk. Also, visiting a grocery store is pretty much unavoidable. So next time if you go out then follow these precautionary measures so that you don't carry the virus home.

The items which tops the list are; shopping basket that you use to put items and take to the billing counter. The shopping basket and carts are one of the most highly-touched areas in a grocery store.  

Also, problem with the handles of these baskets and cart are, they are not touched briefly but customers use the same cart or basket for an entire shopping trip, which makes it easy to be a hotspot of germs and viruses.

These carts and basket also come in contact with your clothes and other personal items, that can help in carrying the virus to other places and people. 

So, the next time you go out carry your own cloth shopping bag from home. This will reduce the risk of picking unwanted bacteria and viruses.

Also, visit the store not at peak hours (preferably go early in the morning) so that social distancing is mentained.
