I have been watching CBC News Network, and they allow phone-in questions and the subject of take-out foods has come up many times; many journalists have interviewed "experts" who have stated that cooked take-out foods have a very low risk rate, which I have seen stated many times. Of course, they all end their reporting by showing how one must remove and dispose of
all packaging (and then thoroughly wash one's hands). You could also let the food cool down and reheat in the microwave which would kill any virus. There has been an amazing amount of TV commercials on local TV stations advertising various places where one could order take-out.
The only thing I would worry about is the exchange of money (in Canada, bills are made of plastic and plastic seems to retain the virus for longer periods of time.) [I have cleaned my debit card with a sanitary disinfecting wipe each time I have used it.)
Two days ago, on my return walk from the bank, I checked out the Asian noodle shop, but although there was a few staff inside, they said they would be closed that day, and open the day after. Keeping to my minimal goings-out, I didn't go out yesterday. God, I miss my restos. And, all I did this morning was wash dishes. What a drag !!!
Please be safe.
