Request a contact-free deliveryLuckily, delivery people leaving packages on your doorstep without actually interacting with you is already the norm in many cases. Delivery orders of this kind are also relatively unlikely to transmit coronavirus, although you should still wash your hands after opening them, just as a precaution. The contact-free delivery is more for the delivery person’s safety than your own: they’re particularly at risk, given how many people they interact with in a day. But, if you want to take extra precautions, you could open your packages outside, using the method Kristen Bell laid out on Instagram. Taking this route involves using gloves to open the package outside, putting the cardboard packaging in an outdoor recycling bin, and then wiping down the contents with disinfectant and bringing them inside.
