Erica Fernandes’ video giving lockdown sanitisation tip

When the country was under COVID-19 lockdown last year, Erica Fernandes posted a video giving a helpful tip that can also be used now. She taught the viewers how one can sanitise their groceries when they bring them home from the markets. It is because the items could contain bacteria or the novel virus itself.

Eric Fernandes’ video starts with advising everyone to keep the bags outside the house and get in. They should then empty a table and sanitize it. She then divides the table into two portions; keeping the items she bought from the market on one side and moving them to the other side after sanitisation. The actor said that one could either throw the bag they bought the groceries in or should sanitise it.

Erica Fernandes explains that the virus could stay on the packing for a long time and it is necessary to clean it. She said that as the items are leakproof, they need to be clean either in a soapy solution or disinfectant solution. The actor advised filling two buckets of water: one having the soapy or disinfectant solution and the other one with just fresh clean water. She notes that one has to put all the items first in disinfectant water and then wash it with clean water for around 20-30 secs and then store it.
