There's a lot more likely ways to contract Covid-19

The risk of contracting Covid-19 while shopping in the supermarket is"very small" according to an immunology expert.

He stressed the major risk was from breathing droplets that someone had sneezed or coughed out, and warned to observe social distancing to minimise the chances of this method of transmission. “That's a far more important message to get across and it comes back to distancing yourself from people who are potentially infected rather than picking it up from shopping."Working from home for the first time?
