The primary mode of transmission is through droplets from coughing and sneezing. Minimizing the amount of time you spend around other people is by far the most effective way to avoid getting the virus. If you put away the delivered items, wash your hands, and then don't return to the kitchen for a few hours, then it doesn't matter if the delivery person infected your items. The virus can't last all that long outside the human body.
However, from a public health perspective you should only use delivery services if you're in an at-risk group. Otherwise you're just transferring your risk onto another person and also doubling the number of people who could be infected by this trip to the store (assuming you live alone).
Fair points. Some folks are saying just wipe all your items down before storing, seems like a fine solution. I don’t know if I’d trust how long the virus survives. We might not really know yet, I’ve seen varying reports on that.
