I would wipe down all six sides of the box with disinfectant wipes or some sort of isopropyl alcohol solution. Then you can open the box. Wipe down inner contents as well if possible. If not, UV light kills Corona so either a black light or direct sunlight exposure of box contents will do.

If you can leave box untouched for 20 days that would be even more preferable than the above!

LOL, too late. I’m way past the point of being saved.

Any idea on how long to use the UV light on the item being disinfected?

I have a couple LW UV lights and can certainly do that.

They sell UV wands, one of which I have only because I am into UV and IR photography.

Bought it years ago and never got around to using it.

There’s some weird luck right there.

Ah so the ideal is the box goes into quarantine.

That is exactly what we do. Spray mist (rubbing alcohol) on all sides and wipe thoroughly. Pull out contents and repeat. Spray our hands again before touching the doorknob to bring sterile packages inside. Same procedure for grocery items. Any item that we bring into the house gets the same treatment. We also use Purell for wiping down steering wheel, door handle, and shifter before getting out of the car.
