The current global coronavirus (COVID-19) health crisis has many on high-alert when it comes to spreading germs. Our hands touch dozens of surfaces each day that are home to thousands of bacteria and viruses, many of which can last up to a week if not sanitized. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), COVID-19 virus may persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days. Now more than ever, it’s critical to steer clear of germs to prevent from contracting or spreading the coronavirus by disinfecting frequently used surfaces and regularly washing your hands.
