The new coronavirus has been shown to survive for days on some surfaces. What you need to know about disinfecting your home:
If someone in your household has flu-like symptoms, consider regularly disinfecting objects in your home, since the new coronavirus has been shown to survive for 16 hours on plastics.
If you use bleach, use one-quarter cup of bleach per 1 gallon of cold water, but be sure to follow directions on the product label. Make the diluted bleach solution as needed and use within 24 hours, as its disinfecting power fades with time, Duffy and Schaffner said. Solutions of 70% alcohol should be left on surfaces for 30 seconds to ensure they will kill viruses. Pure alcohol evaporates too quickly for such use.
