American Heart Association On Grocery Shopping & COVID-19 – What You Need To Know

Nicole Barylskiby Nicole Barylski
in Community
Home Community

When you have to venture out to buy food or other necessary household items, health experts strongly recommend social distancing. So, how does one safety visit the supermarket during these unprecedented times? The American Heart Association offers the following tips:

If you physically go to a grocery store:

  • Wash your hands thoroughly before you go.
  • When you do go, go during off-peak hours and if possible, bring disinfecting wipes with you – many grocery stores provide sanitizing wipes, but it’s good to have a backup. Your grocery stores may have dedicated days of the weeks and times for persons at higher risk of complications from COVID-19 (persons who are 65 and older and/or persons with underlying health issues).

    At the store:

  • Upon arrival, wipe down carts and baskets, especially the handles. some grocery stores are providing disinfected shopping carts.
  • Maintain normal shopping habits and avoid overbuying or hoarding items.
  • Be extra careful to keep your hands away from your face.
  • Stay at least six feet away from other shoppers while you’re shopping and when you’re in line to check out.
  • If possible, use the self-checkout lane – this reduces your contact with other people. use a credit card or virtual payment system (like apple pay or google pay for example) to pay for your groceries.
  • If you do go through a cashier instead of the self-checkout lane, bag your own groceries – whether you bring your own bags or use the ones provided by the grocery store
  • Pump some hand sanitizer on your hands on your way out or use sanitizer or soap after loading your car with groceries.

    When you get home:

  • When you get home, assign one person in your household to handle the groceries. This person will unload and clean your items. This is a good way to minimize unnecessary potential exposure to other people in your household.
  • Wipe down your groceries with a disinfectant wipe or with soap and water. After you’ve cleaned your items and put them away, recycle or discard bags, boxes, or other containers and then clean any surfaces your grocery bags and groceries touched – think counter tops, refrigerator handles, cabinet and pantry handles.
  • Wash your hands again.

    If you get your items delivered:

    Step 1 – Order earlier than you usually do. Amid higher demand, you may have to wait longer than normal to receive your items.
    Step 2 – Avoid a direct hand-off. apps like Instacart have a “Leave at my door” option – use it.
    Step 3 – If you live alone and are unable to bend over to lift a bag, or bags, or a box, think about a table or bench at your door, if possible, where groceries can be left.
    Step 4 – Tip electronically, if possible – most apps have this option
    Step 5 – Assign one person in your household to handle the groceries. this person will unload and clean your items. this is a good way to minimize unnecessary potential exposure to other people in your household.
    Step 6 – Wipe down your groceries with a disinfectant wipe or with soap and water. after you’ve cleaned your items and put them away, recycle or discard bags, boxes, or other containers and then clean any surfaces your grocery bags and groceries touched – think counter tops, refrigerator handles, cabinet and pantry handles.
    Step 7 – Wash your hands again.

    • If all you know about Calissa in Water Mill is the celebrity-packed VIP section, you might be missing the big picture. The real star is the food. Calissa is the best Greek food in the Hamptons – confidently classic, casually chic – just what I’m looking for in a Hamptons dinner. ⁠
⁠
Thankfully, Calissa is not a reincarnation or reinvention. The focus is on execution and quality, not ego and look-what-we-can-do. It’s a classic for a reason.⁠
⁠
I may not be a food critic, but my fiancé is a private chef (actually, she’s “THE” private chef), so you already know how well we eat. That is to say, we had an incredible meal at Calissa, and I don’t think enough people are talking about how phenomenal the restaurant is.⁠

    • Montauk has a new hospitality gem: Mary Lou’s Montauk. The high-energy, design-forward concept that blends coastal dining with a sense of playful excess. Mary Lou’s offers nightly dinner service, a full cocktail lounge and weekend music programming that blends nostalgic vibes with fresh energy.⁠
⁠
After launching in Palm Beach, the team behind Mary Lou’s, Alex Melillo, Joe Cervasio, and Topher Grubb, are bringing the vibe north, teaming up with NDT Development to open a new outpost at 474 West Lake Drive.⁠
⁠
Alex Melillo, co-founder of Mary Lou’s, shared about the origins of the concept, why Montauk was the next natural step and what guests can expect from this summer’s new venue.⁠
⁠
Can you walk us through the journey of how the idea for Mary Lou’s came to life?⁠
⁠
The idea for Mary Lou’s was born out of a genuine love for creating lasting memories and shared experiences. We’ve always admired the golden era of New York’s nightlife – when people went out to truly let go, to dance without restraint, and to enjoy the moment without ego. There was a certain magic back then, a raw energy that felt authentic and uninhibited.⁠
