The recent number of confirmed cases in Malaysia remains high. I believed many people are afraid to go out to buy food and they may have started to use food delivery services. However, do you know it is also risky once you come into contact with the food delivery person and the food packaging? Learn the 5 steps to avoid contact with COVID-19 viruses when you use food delivery services!

1) After ordering the delivery, you can start preparing tableware. According to the type of food you order, prepare tableware, such as a bowl, plate, fork or spoon. Then, wash all the dishes and wait for the food to be delivered to the door.

2) After the food delivery has arrived, try to ask the delivery person to put the food at the door or hang it on the fence. Wait for him/her to leave before picking it up. This will not only protect yourself but also protect the delivery person. This is because both of you will have as little social contact as possible in this case. Remember to wear a mask before you step out of the house, even the distance is short. 

3) After taking the food in the door, spray the outside of the food bag with a disinfectant spray. Then, wash your hands because your hands may also have the virus. Take out the food only after washing your hands.

4) Pour the food into the prepared tableware. This is also risky to eat the delivered food directly in the box prepared by the store because the outer layer of the box may also be contaminated with the virus. Therefore, it is better to pour out the food separately and use your own utensils.

5) If you have a microwave oven at home, it is best to heat the food again before eating it. High temperatures can sterilize the food again. You should wash your hands again before you start eating, no matter how hungry you are.
