Do you just wipe it or spray a bit of Dettol on it or something else?

@Chemenger has it bang on.

The only way Covid could get on the majority of people's phones is if the phone owner puts it there. Have a think about that.

Last night in the pub I wanted to show my friend something on my phone and I sterilised it by a big splodge of hand gel on a napkin
I think being in the pub is probably a bigger COVID risk than your friend touching your phone?

@MoistMolly

I lick it clean
😂. Made me laugh this morning.

OP, I have never cleaned my phone. If my phone has Covid it could only have caught it from me and in that case I already have it. So no not worried.

Jesus, sitting in a pub and being terrified that your phone has toxic matter on it? 🤦‍♀️

@MistakenMavis

I mean I was socially distanced from her in a not busy at all pub/restaurant and one other person and we didn’t hug, I’m not really that arsed myself as I’m pretty sure I had it, I just wanted to pass her my phone and so I cleaned it for her 🤷🏻‍♀️
It would have made far more sense for her to clean her hands after she'd handled the phone?!

Only if the screen is dirty, and I lick it and dry it on my jumper.
