While it is best to stay at home as much as possible, a trip to the grocery store is inevitable. Here are a few tips for staying safe and smart in the grocery store:

• Maintain a 6-foot distance between you and other shoppers.
• Wipe down shopping cart handles and shopping baskets with a disinfectant wipe.
• Shop during senior hours if you are a senior, pregnant, immunocompromised or have any other underlying health conditions.
• Wear disposable gloves and a homemade mask.
• Use self-checkout.
• Wash your hands.
