Is it possible to get coronavirus disease (COVID-19) through food? How should clothes be washed at this time? Household chores have become a source of uncertainty and anxiety as families struggle to do all the basic chores while keeping their loved ones safe and healthy. Misinformation about the virus puts everyone at risk, and having to distinguish between fact and fiction adds to the stress we all already feel.

Although research is still being done on the COVID-19 virus, we know that it is transmitted primarily when respiratory droplets from an infected person (by coughing, sneezing, talking, or singing) enter the mouth, nose, or eyes of people who they are close. We also now know that people can become infected and spread the virus even without having any symptoms. Also, people can become infected by touching their mouth, nose, or eyes after touching surfaces contaminated with the virus. It can survive on surfaces for a few hours to several days. But the good news is that a simple disinfectant can kill it. Now what does this mean for your home?
