All over the news, we're constantly hearing about a new case of Coronavirus and see store shelves getting cleared out of items like it's the apocalypse. We're now seeing everyone obsessively clean to keep from getting sick and constantly washing their hands for at least 20 seconds. The CDC is giving tips so you can stay healthy that you may or may not know. When washing your hands make sure to keep your hands pointing down and scrub every party of your hand especially your fingertips. Don't touch the faucet or sink and make sure to fully dry your hands because wet hands spread germs easier.
When you're at work it's advised to wipe down your work space at least once a week and make sure to leave disinfectant sprays to rest on the surface for at least 10 seconds before wiping it down. Every item that you're wiping down use a fresh wipe or cloth and flip your keyboard over when you leave the office every day. When you wipe remember to wipe in one direction because if you go back over it in the opposite direction, you're depositing the germs you just cleaned up. The Center of Biocide Chemistries created a list of more than 100 products that the EPA has approved as effective at killing the coronavirus and you can see the full list below:
