Daily Covid-19 Minute: CDC Guidance On Disinfecting Surfaces
The CDC has updated their guidance on disinfecting surfaces in regards to covid now finding the risk of getting infected with this coronavirus from a surface is very low, probably less than 1 in 10,000.
As a result, there is no need to be routinely wiping down high-touch surfaces with disinfectant wipes or sprays instead a once-a-day cleaning with plain old soap or detergent should do just fine.
There is one exception however, the CDC says disinfecting products should be used indoors if there has been a suspected or confirmed case of Covid-19 within the last 24 hours.
Over time potentially infected spaces become safer because the virus canโt survive for long.
After about 72 hours, the risk of infection drops to near 0%.
