I hope this does not seem ignorant, but I am not finding information about this. It seems they know the virus can live on hard surfaces but not sure about others? I normally eat salad for lunch and, honestly, its going to be an adjustment to my system to change from that. I will stay away from the tmi. I may need to switch away anyway, as I am going to the store as little as possible. I know soap and water is supposed to kill the virus. Is that what people are doing with fresh produce? Or not worrying about it? Any ideas on how to specifically wash lettuce?

--And as a general update, my family is pretty much self-isolating other than buying food and going out for walks/runs for exercise. I am doing telehealth/on-line counseling although has been a big hit to my already small caseload. I currently only have 4 clients I am able to do telehealth with...

I’m putting in a big garden. If there are shortages of farm labor or issues with shipping, prices will go up.

ETA- also, this way I know who has touched our produce. Does nothing for fruit, but most of that is far easier to wash.
