Mobile phone, which we hardly produced from the hands (and in different places) can be one of the main sources of bacteria and viruses, the causative agents of various infections.

Why is this happening? There are a few basic reasons:

a mobile phone is often passed from hand to hand, and the owner of the phone does not charge his just washed hands.

- mobile phone when the conversation is brought very close to the face;

many owners of gadgets just never clean for fear of damage;

- many people take mobile phones into the bathroom – the place is very rich of different pathogens.

A particularly important role to play mobile phone as a vector of pathogens of influenza, other viral respiratory infections and, in particular, coronavirus infection COVID-19.

How to avoid infection?

First: strictly observe hygiene of hands after visiting public places and the toilet always wash hands thoroughly for 20 seconds, then wipe dry with a disposable paper towel. It is extremely advisable to carry antiseptic wipes or liquid detergents (gels, sprays, etc.). So you can always maintain your hands clean even when there is no possibility to wash.

Second: to regularly handle the phone itself antiseptic, especially where the body of the gadget is in contact with the face. If you have a case of it when processing is necessary to remove and handle separately (and it is better to do without it).

To combat influenza viruses and SARS (and coronaviruses) are best to use wipes and gels based on alcohol. Popular antiseptic chlorhexidine is more intended to protect from bacteria, but in a pinch you can use it.

The phone should be processed after each visit to public places, public transport etc. And in the evening, after the end of the day.
