Coronavirus: Leave deliveries for 72 hours to limit risk of virus exposure, experts say

People must leave packages and deliveries for up to 72 hours before opening them to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, researchers have said. The advice comes from a team of researchers from the universities of Bath, Bristol and Southampton in a bid to help reduce transmission. The guidance from health experts and psychologists, who are working closely with Public Health England, is uploaded onto a website called Germ Defence, which the universities have updated to reflect the impact of coronavirus.
