How to protect yourself from the coronavirus while grocery shopping

Grocery shopping has become one of the most anxiety-inducing activities in our daily lives. From crowds that are sometimes impossible to avoid to concerns surrounding what we should and shouldn't be touching when we're outside of our home, the potential for contracting the coronavirus seems overwhelming. However, we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief, because the CDC is effectively eliminating some of these fears with an adjustment to their safety guidelines.

Wearing a mask is the best thing you can do to avoid the coronavirus while shopping. Wearing gloves, however, is not necessary. Avoiding grocery stores during peak hours is advisable.
