A strong preventative measure I haven’t been hearing people talk about in general is constant cleaning of commonly touched surfaces. In workplaces and homes, this may be more valuable than encouraging people to wash their hands very often.
The Coronavirus can persist on steel, metal, wood, and plastic for up to 4 days according to the link below. Cleaning surfaces several times per day with an appropriate cleaning agent would therefore be highly valuable to implement.
There’s not much point in constantly washing your hands if your office/home’s front doorknob is spreading the virus to every person who touches it for 4 days in a row.
The SARS-CoVStrain P9 and HCOV listings in the link below are (I think) the best examples to look at. Best cleaning agents are those with 4+ “Reduction of viral infectivity (log10)” on the 2nd table.
