[Durham INC] Vital medsafety info 4 deliveries, swaps, curb alerts & pickups re: Covid surface survival times

[Debra Hawkins]

Hello everyone,

 

Sharing in spirit of help to those who find it useful re: incoming (or
outgoing) goods deliveries, recreational item loans/swaps, curbside alerts
or store pickups, etc. regarding covid surface survival times. See below -
remember plastic tape on seams is a hybrid surface with cardboard boxes, no
data on that combo so far. Details so those who wish can develop any
handling plans/protocols - from an immunocompromised neighbor on total
lockdown seeing a lot of posts of concern! 

 

Best, D in NGP
