Covid-19 has the ability to lurk on the flat surface for almost a week unless it is disinfected, researchers have claimed
The public is being urged to clean their smartphone screens with alcohol wipes twice a day to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Covid-19, which has infected almost 80,000 people globally, has the ability to lurk on the flat surface for almost a week unless it is disinfected, researchers have claimed.
“You could be washing your hands, but if you start touching your smartphone screen and then touch your face that is a potential route of infection,” said William Keevil, a professor of environmental healthcare at the University of Southampton.
