Cleaning can protect you
According to the CDC, “many diseases and conditions are spread by not washing hands with soap and clean, running water”. Coronavirus makes no exception. Therefore, regular hygiene such as handwashing is one of the best ways to get rid of germs and viruses, avoid getting sick, and stop the spread to other people. Your best weapons against the virus are products like disinfectants, hand soap and hand sanitizers.
Make a habit out of washing your hands for at least 20 seconds, before and after eating, before entering and after leaving places, before and after touching items in public places like ATM machines, elevator buttons, money etc. If using water is not an option, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. And whatever you do, avoid touching your face, steer clear of crowded places or enclosed spaces with too many people inside. Wipe down high-touch surfaces in your home such as tables, doorknobs, light switches, remotes, handles, toilets, sinks etc. This post might help you do it right: Bacteria and Viruses in Your Own House?
