Hygiene
To help protect against all respiratory illnesses, including the flu and coronavirus, you should:
- Wash your hands often and well. Refer to Alberta Health Services' hand-washing instructions for guidance.
- Avoid touching your face, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
- When sick, cover your cough and sneezes and then wash your hands. Refer to Alberta Health Services' respiratory hygiene recommendations for guidance.
To help protect against all respiratory illnesses, including the flu and COVID-19, you should clean and disinfect surfaces that are frequently touched. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers several recommendations for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and bedding, linens, and clothing.
Cell phones can be particularly germ-filled surfaces. Apple offers specific recommendations for cleaning your cell phone, cell phone case, and other devices.
While Apple mentions that "[u]sing a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe or Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, you may gently wipe the hard, nonporous surfaces of your Apple product, such as the display, keyboard, or other exterior surfaces" (Apple, 2020), other sources recommend against using Clorox or Lysol wipes on your cell phone and other devices.
