With the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic, more people all over the world ran to the nearest supermarkets. They hoarded necessities, especially canned goods, rice, toilet paper, surgical masks, and alcohol for disinfection.

Even with the announcement from the officials, people still did not stop panicking. Who wouldn’t be, especially with the test kits being limited, making it difficult for all the people to get tested, and there is still no cure in sight to this pandemic.

Anyway, according to the news, if you will buy alcohol or hand sanitizers, make sure that it has 70% alcohol to eliminate the virus effectively. Besides the alcohol, you also need to make sure that your house is coronavirus free since everyone is advised to self-quarantine at home and not go out.

According to the experts, droplets from the infected person may land on the surface and can survive for more than 8 hours. That is a long time; that is why it is important always to disinfect!

Using Bleach as Home Disinfectant

“Bleach is very effective at killing the coronavirus, as well as virtually every other germ on the face of the planet,” said Dr. Paul Pottinger, a professor of infectious diseases at the University of Washington Medical Center. “The problem is, it’s stinky, it’s hard to use, and it can damage what you’re trying to clean.”
