Is consuming vegetables and fruits directly bought from hawkers safe in this phase of pandemic? Can it spread corona virus? And if yes, how to sanitize them before consuming? Is rinse in simple warm water enough?

No, hot water alone cannot kill the virus that causes covid 19 on surfaces. The virus has fat based envelop that makes it very susceptible to detergents and alcohol.
