For those of us to have to go out and are scared we might transfer coronavirus to our shoes, our worries have been confirmed by the CDC. Your family and pets could be affected by what's on your shoes and brought right into your house, no matter your face-mask or gloves, hand washing.

If this story is true and the virus left on shoes is still in a contageious state - article by the NY Post doesn't mention that part, this is good information to know. I've worn washable clogs for 20 years and can throw them right into the washing machine after comng in from my porch to collect packages, deliveries brought by others wearing shoes, masks and gloves. So being physically quarantined personally and quaratining/disinfecting our packagies, mail, whatever, doesn't necessarily keep up as safe as we might have thought if we step where anothe person or animal paw or bird feet mght have stepped.
Also, if this article is true, the virus travels more than twice the distance of durrent social distancing suggestions.
Awful to think of ICU workers and medical doctors carrying the virus right out of ICU on the soles of their shoes, down the hospital halls, to another patient's room, their car mats and home.
I'm going to try to find the study on the CDC website and post it here.
So we could be bringing virus in our our shoes to our floors, our little Yorkies and other pets, famlies' feet to our very beds, etc.
