Fruits can be sterilized by rinsing under running water, boiling water, and soaking in salt water or baking soda to prevent the new coronavirus. During the outbreak, fruits purchased outside the house should be sprayed with disinfectant on the outer packaging. Fruits should be left to dry in a dry and ventilated place for another 30 minutes after entering the house, and should be stored separately from meat, poultry and seafood. When it is necessary to consume them, the fruits should be thoroughly cleaned, either with flowing water or soaked in special food disinfectant. For fruits that can be peeled, try to remove the skin as much as possible before consumption. Disinfect the utensils used for washing fruits by wiping them with alcohol or soaking them in chlorine-containing disinfectant and rinsing them with clean water. Before cutting, plating and eating the fruits, carefully wash the skins under running water using a fruit and vegetable cleaner, and dry the fruits with a clean paper towel. New coronaviruses can attach to the surface of fruits and can survive for a certain period of time. Therefore, the scientific practice should be to wash the ingredients under running water before eating, and try not to eat those that cannot be eaten raw.
