Then I wore work gloves to bring it to the door of the mud room and opened the outer package. Wifey grabbed the three inner packages, which had been in that box for more than 24hrs, and brought them inside. Washing your hands afterward is the big key here.
I have to say, this level of caution and package isolation seems rather extreme. Are you going to do this for another year or more because this virus is with us for the long haul. Hand washing is good practice when handling most anything and should be done, virus or not. So much fear is driving people to extremes though. The chances are most of us will eventually get it in the end.
