6. Using disinfecting wipes
Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) believes that Covid-19 primarily spreads between people via respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing, preliminary data show that the coronavirus may live up to a day and even more on surfaces, says Dr. Glatter.
That means people can easily touch a contaminated surface, get the virus on their hands and then infect themselves or someone else. Doctors are relying on Clorox or other disinfecting wipes to help prevent the problem. “It’s a good idea to have some wipes handy,” she recommends.
