Seem like everybody is cleaning a whole lot more these days. But how about your phone. Here's some new info.
Researchers in Australia say the novel coronavirus can survive for nearly a month on some surfaces - including smartphones. The virus remained infectious for up to 28 days on smooth surfaces like glass, stainless steel, or plastic - which includes smartphone screens and credit cards.
