Experts weigh in on the risks of floral deliveries during the pandemic.
One way to exercise caution is to opt for contactless delivery.
But if you work with a local florist, he noted, “you can more easily discuss their delivery options and ensure that the flowers can be left outside the door without a signature.” From an economic standpoint, Thomas said he would feel more inclined to use a local florist and support a small business. But from a transmission standpoint, he thinks it’s “a hard call.”
As an extra precaution, Khubchandani suggested staying away from the flowers for at least one to two hours and wearing gloves or a plastic bag while handling them. If they’re already arranged in a vase or other holder, you can wipe that down with Clorox. You should not feel pressure to order any nonessential deliveries right now, including floral arrangements.
