Cleaning for Health
Based on what we know about the way COVID-19 spreads, the most effective strategies limit airborne exposure, such as wearing face coverings and maintaining social distancing. Current research indicates that surfaces are not the main way that the virus spreads, but may contribute if one touches a surface and then touches their face or eyes. Visit the Cleaning for Health page for more details.
