A recent study found that, on surfaces such as metal, glass or plastic, coronavirus can survive for anywhere between two hours and nine days....Definitely, Maybe?
 

I carry my cell phone with me in my pocket wherever I go. When using the bathroom I put it on the counter. After using the bathroom I wipe it down with a wipe and put the wipe in the trash can. The package says they can be flushed but that's not true. I saw a segment on t. v. that says they cause most plumbing problems.
 
LOL - I saw a woman in the market wearing gloves while chatting on her phone & shopping, touching everything. Gloves won't help.

Well, obviously, she's shopping - touching things, then touching her phone to dial or answer it, then putting it on her face. You don't get a virus just by touching something; you get a virus by touching something that has the virus on it, then touching your face. If her glove touches something with the virus on it, then she touches her phone, she transfers the virus to her phone, then she puts the phone on her face to talk.
 
I've always wiped down my phone and also my landline phone long before the virus. We answer the phone when we are outside gardening, lots of germs lurking there . Hubby had an ear infection,more germs.
I also wipe down the DVD and book covers we get from the library although right now our library is closed.
 
Yes I wipe my phone. I also use sanitizer when I enter my home. I carry a small bottle of sanitizer in my pocket when I go to the grocery store and use it before I get back in my car.
