For most of us, it’s easy enough to heed advice to avoid gripping stairwell railings. But what about the phones we handle all day? Yes, your phone is covered in everyday germs (a “portable petri dish,” as one professor recently put it). This sort of concern has caused some media outlets to advise people to clean their phones to slow coronavirus’s spread.
But unless your stuff has come in contact with a droplet of mucus or saliva from a potentially infected person, we don’t think you need to worry about constantly cleaning your personal gear. “Unless you hand your phone to someone else, that’s probably the least likely thing to get contaminated by someone else,” said Dr. Sankar Swaminathan, chief of the Infectious Diseases Division at the University of Utah School of Medicine. “The surfaces you need to be concerned about are surfaces that are touched by other people.”
