RMR

What can I do to reduce my risk? For starters, do the obvious things: wash hands frequently, reduce your contact with others (and if you do see other people, stay at least 1.5 metres apart, particularly if you are talking). Definitely don't go out at all if you're unwell. Keep your phone to yourself. I'd be very reluctant to share my own phone with anyone right now, especially if they seem unwell. It's not clear what role children play in the transmission of this coronavirus but, just in case, children should be washing hands before they touch their parents' phones. That said, it seems more likely at present that adults give it to children than the other way round. Ideally, you should be cleaning your phones, tablets and keyboards with alcohol wipes (which need to be around 70 percent alcohol). They are quite effective at deactivating viruses (if somewhat hard to get now). Most baby wipes only have a low percentage of alcohol so are less effective but just the wiping would help remove virus particles. In the worst case scenario, you can try using a damp cloth with a small amount of soap and water to clean your phone - but don't let water get inside your phone and wreck it. When it comes to mail and package deliveries, try to keep apart from the delivery person. Many delivery people are already forgoing the customary signature on the tablet, meaning you don't have to touch a device or e-stylus that many others have already handled. You could consider wiping down a package before opening it, and washing your hands well after disposing of the packaging. At the end of the day, the risk is never zero, and the world is a nightmare if you go too far down this route of worrying about every single surface. --------------------------------------------------------------- If you would prefer not to receive further messages from this sender, please click on the following link and confirm your request [Click here for www link](EMAIL}/HCS71FC) You will receive one additional e-mail message confirming your removal.
