The company published an “Apple” site a set of tips and
instructions on how to keep smart phones free of germs,
with the spread of the new Corona virus around the
world, and so far has caused the death of 4,630 people.
According to scientific studies, the phones are fertile
ground for germs and viruses, especially the Corona
virus, which research has indicated can remain effective
on surfaces for days.
And in the instructions published by Apple, the company
said: “By using 70 percent alcohol or disinfection wipes,
you can gently wipe hard and non-porous surfaces of the
Apple product, such as the screen, keyboard, or other
external surfaces.”
Apple recommends turning off the device first, and
avoiding the use of bleaching materials or flooding the
device in cleaning materials, or allowing moisture to
enter any opening of the device, according to AIT
NEWS website, which specializes in technical news.
According to the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention, antiseptics that contain at least 60 percent of
alcohol have proven effective in eliminating germs.
The chief scientific officer of the Center’s Consumer
Reports division, James Dickerson, believes that the
number of times the phone should be cleaned varies,
depending on the nature of the tasks and tasks performed
by its holder, so the doctor who mixes with patients has
to clean his device several times, while the average user
can do this Less, that is, it depends on the amount of
interaction with others.
