Coronavirus has quickly gained a reputation for being particularly insidious. It can survive on surfaces for up to a week and people infected by the virus don’t show symptoms until approximately two weeks after infection, making it difficult to track and contain.
As the virus can survive on surfaces of different materials for at least 2 to 3 days, surfaces potentially contaminated with the novel coronavirus (e.g. commonly touched surfaces, surfaces which may have been exposed to respiratory droplets such as sneezes or coughs, and floors) should be sanitized as people get into contact with the hard surface areas

Protecting Key Against Coronavirus
COVID-19 spreads primarily from person to person. Fighting this disease is our joint responsibility. Protect yourself and others by making these 6 simple precautions your new habits:
Clean your hands often​
Cough or sneeze in your bent elbow – not your hands!​
Avoid touching your​ eyes, nose, and mouth​
Limit social gatherings and time spent in crowded places​
Avoid close contact with someone who is sick​
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
This includes cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and objects that people frequently touch. Even when restrictions are lifted, there are likely to be more waves of coronavirus infections as people come into contact with others, so we all have to stay vigilant and continue using hygienic practices.
Poor hand hygiene is a particular problem because people frequently cough and sneeze into their hands or touch their mouth or nose, providing a ready means to spread the coronavirus to everything they touch. The virus can be transferred to other people when they touch a contaminated surface and become infected when they touch their mouth, nose or eyes.
Let’s get this clear every surface is at high risk of contamination and that’s the reason why it is recommended to use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol or with Soap.
The coronavirus (the virus itself is called SARS CoV-2) was found to be present in the feces of patients and for an average of 11 days after it had disappeared from the respiratory tract.
Toilet ‘sneeze’, the plume of droplets created by flushing, spreads fecal micro-organisms around a washroom. They settle on surfaces such as the seat, floor, walls, unprotected tissue, cubicle and
Studies in offices have shown that germs can spread from an infected person to the entire office in 2–4 hours via contaminated touchpoints. They all need regular cleaning and disinfecting with approved products to ensure protection from infection.
What is the difference between sanitizing and cleaning and Disinfecting?
Cleaning a surface simply removes visible debris, dirt, and dust.
Sanitizing a surface makes that surface sanitary or free of visible dirt contaminants that could affect your health.
Sanitizing is meant to reduce, not kill, the occurrence and growth of bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Disinfecting a surface will “kill” the microscopic organisms as claimed on the label of a particular product.
— Robert Neitzel, director of operations, Big 3 Packaging, Philadelphia
Say you’ve got a big mess on your hands. You’ve had some food spill in your kitchen, and you need to decide on a product and method to clean up so you get rid of any potentially hazardous germs. Should you sanitize or disinfect? What’s the difference between the two anyway?
You might be surprised to learn that, even though people tend to use the terms interchangeably, there’s a legal difference. Sanitizers are agents that destroy 99.999 percent of bacteria in 30 seconds during the Official Detergent Sanitizer Test (a public health test).
A good way to understand the logic behind this test is to think of bartender washing glasses. He’ll have to kill as many germs as possible in a short time to be able to put the glasses away quickly.
On the other hand, disinfectants are products that destroy all organisms in 10 minutes during the AOAC Use Dilution Test, a test regulated by the EPA to determine the efficiency of disinfectants. Such a Pandemic situation, it’s more important to kill all germs even if it takes longer rather than to kill most of them quickly. LIST OF EPA APPROVED DISINFECTANT
So, sanitizing is a chemical process that lessens and even kills germs on surfaces to make them safe for contact. Usually, you sanitize in kitchens and other areas that come into contact with food. For example, you sanitize dishes and utensils after using them. You also sanitize toys that children put in their mouths.
Disinfecting requires a stronger solution to destroy germs rather than simply reduce them. You might disinfect areas where you change a baby’s diaper. Hospitals disinfect areas that have come into contact with blood or other body fluids.
Both methods are a step up from regular cleaning because cleaning only removes visible dirt. When you sanitize or disinfect, you are removing potentially harmful bacteria that might not be visible to the naked eye.

FAQ’S
Q. When should building service contractors clean, vs. sanitize, vs. disinfect surfaces?
Clean low-risk surfaces, such as floors, windows, etc., where the likelihood of pathogen transfer from the surface is low. Sanitizing should only be applied to food contact surfaces, which is required as part of the food code. Disinfection is appropriate for frequently touched surfaces and surfaces likely to harbor pathogens. Since sanitizing does not make anti-viral claims, sanitizing offers any confidence in killing the flu or other viruses commonly found on surfaces.
