As the novel coronavirus continues to sweep across the country, grocery shopping has become one of the most nerve-wracking — yet necessary — activities for Canadians.

However, several questions remain: should I wear a mask or gloves to the store? Can the virus live on the box of crackers or the bag of milk in my cart?
