    Just wondering is it safe to accept post currently into our homes? Is that a potential vector for the virus to get into our homes on surfaces of parcels?


    I've taken to leaving all bills in the postbox for at least a month. :p

    Of course it is.

    Once you’ve at least 1000 rooms of toilet paper and a year’s supply of pasta.

    Most bills, statements and the like have not been touched or even seen by a human (until actual delivery).

    If you feel it is necessary, use rubber gloves and a letter opener to open the envelope and dump out the contents.

    Bin envelope.

    Wash gloves and a letter opener with soap and water.

    delivery services said they'll sign to prove delivery rather then asking people to do it.
