Tuệ Nghi (T/H) |

Use a 70-degree alcohol towel or use a soap solution mixed with water to gently remove the phone surface to disinfect and prevent COVID-19 infection.

Cleaning all daily touch device surfaces including phones, tablets, and keyboards to prevent COVID-19 infection. Tests conducted by scientists have been published showing that the virus can live for two to three days on plastic and stainless steel surfaces.

However, that does not mean spraying the detergent directly on your phone, not soaking your phone in the detergent, do not use compressed air devices to spray, and avoid rubbing with abrasives. Before cleaning, turn off the phone and remove all charging cables.

Use a 70-degree alcohol-encrusted soft towel, squeeze it dry and gently wip the phone surface. In addition, you can soak the fabric in the soap to clean your phone. Squeezing disinfectants on paper towels to disinfect electronic devices can also be a reference, but absolutely do not spray disinfectants directly on them.

Apple has also recommended that iPhone, iPad, and MacBook users can clean their devices with a wet towel that is disinfected or wiped off with a 70-degree alcohol.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays can kill bacteria and disinfect the phone quickly. Most UV cleaning devices work like a sun lounge.

Currently, Samsung, LG and Xiaomi have launched smartphones with UV disinfection at quite affordable prices. It can kill up to 99% of bacteria and parasites on many small materials, from smartphones, glasses, headphones, ... in just 10 minutes.

Finally, protect yourself from the COVID-19 epidemic by washing your hands regularly, avoiding crowded places, cleaning equipment and appliances before using and promptly reporting to the doctor when in contact with suspected cases of COVID-19.
