Other things that now would be a good time to hammer into your head if (like me) you didn’t already: coughing into your elbow, sanitising your doorknobs and light switches, and not touching your face.
Instead of sanitising light switches, stop having light switches. Movement sensors/Google Assistent can switch lights without any need for touching switches.
Doorknobs are awful technology to the point that Australia recently outlawed them for new bulidings. Handles are still problematic but have a larger surface area so different people touch at different places and less pressure is also helpful.
When it comes to the advice of not touching my face, that might be the main takeaway I take from this post.

But if, like the crushingly vast majority of households and most workplaces, you do in fact have light switches, you should sanitise them.

I was using “doorknobs” as shorthand for any kind of door handle. If you have door handles, you should sanitise them. I think this is unhelpful pedantry.
