How to pick up express during the epidemic? Do express deliveries need to be disinfected during the epidemic?

It is possible to receive express delivery during the epidemic, but strict protective measures should be taken for both the recipient and the courier. The China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reminds that the possibility of express parcels being contaminated by the new coronavirus during transportation is small, and there have been no reports of infection with the new coronavirus due to receiving express delivery. Let's learn more about it below!

How to receive express delivery during the epidemic

First, be sure to wear a mask when picking up express delivery.

The second is to keep a distance of more than 1 meter from the courier, or wait for the courier to put the box on the ground outside the door and then collect it. This can reduce close contact and communication with the courier.

Third, try not to touch the express box directly with your hands. You can wear disposable gloves, or put a tissue on your hands, or you can spray 75% alcohol on the surface of the express box.

Does express delivery need to be disinfected during the epidemic?

Do not bring the outer packaging of express delivery back into the room; throw it into the designated garbage storage area outdoors.

After opening the box and taking out the goods, spray 75% alcohol on the purchased items, or place them in a dry and ventilated place for at least 30 minutes.

It is very important not to forget to wash your hands again, and wash them carefully with running water and hand sanitizer.

Let’s talk about the safety protection of couriers from another perspective. Couriers are a mobile group. They need to go deep into many communities, many streets, and many recipients. It is necessary to do a good job of protection and cannot be careless in the slightest.

What should couriers pay attention to during the epidemic

The first is that couriers must measure their body temperature, wear masks, wash their hands and disinfect before going to work every day. They can only go to work if everything is normal. After returning to work, they must take their temperature, disinfect and wash their hands again.

The second is that the courier is physically tired and should take a rest immediately, because when the human body feels tired, the immunity is relatively low and it is easy to be infected by the virus.

Third, couriers should immediately report any physical abnormalities to their local community and should not conceal or ignore the situation. If they develop a fever or feel unwell, they should go to the nearest designated fever clinic for treatment in a timely manner.

Fourth, couriers should wear masks correctly and keep a distance of more than 1 meter from customers when receiving and sending items.

Fifth, couriers must not touch their eyes, nose, or mouth with their hands. This is a point that must be reminded.

Sixth, couriers must take off their outer clothes and hang them outside to dry after finishing their shift every day. Once again, we emphasize washing hands, using hand sanitizer, and washing hands carefully and thoroughly.
