Bleach and peroxide, among other disinfectants, do kill the virus. One could clean the outside of the box before opening it.

Not sure why parent is subtracting the transit time: Who delivered the package? Were they infected? Exactly.

Unless you think that for some reason the exterior of the box is going to have live virus for more than what’s been reported, this seems reasonable.
