In India we have tradition of keeping many groceries under the sun on terrace or exposed floor. Now due to covid situation, whatever delivered mainly and majorly being groceries,, we need to handle them with care. Adding further to the problem is that we cannot sanitize them with regular floor cleaner (no official guide could I find on that).

I came across this article (http://tiny.cc/cov2 ) which states, corona could stay as long as 72 hrs in steel, and plastic. But I found this was conducted at temp of 21 to 23 deg C, but in India, we have around 24 to 35 deg C.

So I wonder, after sanitizing as much as possible, simply keeping the delivered items under sun during noon, could help us get rid of SARS-CoV-2 that is left on them?

PS: Our state is 2nd in India w.r.t Corona situation, and our city, 2nd in the state. So as days go by, we are having to take extra care.
