The virus can survive for 72 hrs...but proper washing can clean away the virus then itself... Immediately after coming home place all the purchased items , clothes and bags separately...clean them with salt water or baking soda...wash outside clothes separately...and clean urself after doing all these...and proper cooking kills all the virus... BAbies can very well be given all vegetables if  properly cooked OR after thoroughly washing
