Millions of people work from home right now after the house isolation decisions taken by most countries of the world, to help stop the spread of the new Corona virus.

Working from home makes it necessary for us to deal with computers always, and the keyboard is one of the surfaces that carry viruses and transmits them from one person to another so you should sterilize them, on a daily basis if possible, by using wipes moistened with alcohol and cleaning them.


Initial studies indicated that the virus can live for up to three days on surfaces such as plastics and stainless steel. However, researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the virus stayed on the "Diamond Princess" ship for 17 days after its injured passengers left, according to the British "mirror" website.


The duration of the virus depends on the type of surfaces, the degree of exposure to sunlight, and the differences in temperature and humidity and the number of times the surface is cleaned, according to the site.


If you work from home or still have to go to work, you must clean and sterilize your office and the equipment you use, especially the keyboard and computer mouse daily if possible, because it is a fertile environment for germs and viruses. In addition to washing your hands for 20 seconds after returning home, sneezing, coughing, or eating.
