Key Points of Cleaning and Disinfection for SARS-CoV-2
Recent studies show that people without any symptoms play a major role in the spread of COVID-19. As is known, the new coronavirus is spread primarily among people by respiratory droplets (most often in close contact, within approximately 1-2 meters) (with coughs, sneezes, spits). In other words, transmission from person to person is the most common way. Thesecond important way of smearing SARS-CoV-2 to people from contaminated surfaces. We know that SARS-CoV-2 can live on various surfaces for hours and days. The best practice is to clean dirty surfaces and then disinfection to prevent the spread of COVID-19 from all kinds of surfaces, as well as in homes, community settings and hospitals.
