Public health expert Cory Bash showed me the do's and don'ts of shopping for groceries safely.

One of the things people fail to keep in mind is not to let their guard down when they're uncomfortable places.

Just a grocery store.

First thing you do when you get to that grocery store before you shop, wipe down that cart.

People buying produce often pick up an item with their bare hands like this guy is doing, and then put it back for someone else to buy.

Be mindful that things have been coming from stores.

We don't know who's been handling them while you're shopping.

Make sure you maintain that social distance of approximately six feet for your safety and the safety of others.

As you can see, that's not always easy to do.

The best thing to do is pay with your phone.

If you can't pay with your phone, use a credit card but try to avoid using cash.

Any of those would be a better choice than exchanging money just to avoid that exchange of handling your money and then collecting back change.
