Leave it for 72hours at least before you open and/or unwrap it to touch anything inside it.
When the delivery comes,
Collect it with gloves,
Keep it somewhere for 3days.

Basically the main thing is that the delivery man who is bring you the package may be infected and you will never know.
The company worker packing the package may be infected and you will never know.

What if delivery is food?
That’s a tough one- obviously you just take all safe precautions:
•Collect the package with gloves,
•Unwrap it safely,

“What of spraying it with disinfectant or using bleach?”
I don’t recommend that.
It’s unrealistic to think that will be effective and it gives you a false reassurance that you have done something when you may have wasted your time.

The product itself may have virus from the company.
So it’s better you wait 3days.

“What if I need to return it and it’s too late after 3days?”
A simple way out is to let the company know you will wait three days before opening- if they will refuse to collect it back, then don’t buy.
There are no easy answers that solves all problems. I can’t decide for you.
