The corona1 virus outbreak is boosting demand for home delivery of meals and groceries as more consumers avoid crowded restaurants and stores.

Sandy Nuremburg was dismayed after a recent trip to the supermarket.

It was a madhouse and it was crowds of people and everybody coughing.

So the mother of two decided2 to try something different,

she's now ordering all her groceries on Instacart an online delivery service.

Instacart has definitely become a hundred percent of our groceries now.

Because it available on Instacart and its reducing you know our exposure and our exposing other people because I have small kids.

From his home office professor John Swats Berg advises that everyone should restrict their contact with other people.

The less contact we have with other people, the less chance were going to become infected.

So going to the grocery store is a perfect opportunity to interact with lots of other people,

particularly if the grocery store is crowded.

Over the past few days InstaCart and other retail3 stores have set records for daily app downloads according to app topia a data tracking service.

But if you can’t use the apps and must physically4 go to the stores,

Infectious Diseases expert Jason Farley says try shopping at off-peak hours.

Also when you grab a shopping cart, most stores are now putting some level of alcohol or Clorox wipe on top front.

Take that handles of your card and clean it with that alcohol-based wipe.

And then when you’re done with that use the alcohol-based Purell or some other form of alcohol-based gel to clean your hands.

What about gloves?

You’re wearing gloves in a store ok is as good as you touching5 something you then touched other things in your buggy.

But when you get home if you then touch that same metal can

or say same plastic bags or same activities, the virus is probably still there.

With the virus being spread from person to person contact through respiratory droplets6,

expert say the safest course while shopping is to avoid close contact with other shoppers.
