Packaged goods, petrol pumps, shopping carts and ATMs do not cause infection. Wash your hands after using them and live your life as usual.
COVID - 19 is not a food infection. It is associated with drops of infection like the ‘flu. There is no proof that COVID - 19 is transmitted by ordering food. So don't worry about food orders. But you can heat it up in the microwave.

Going / Entering the sauna does not kill COVID – 19 virus that has already entered the body.
Drinking vinegar, Turmeric milk and ginger can't cure you of the virus. These are good for improving immunity.
Wearing a mask for long periods interferes with your breathing and oxygen levels. Wear it outside, not inside the house.

Stay healthy and keep safe.
