<a href="https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/research/centres/march-centre/safe-surface-science" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Safe Surface Science</a> is a group of researchers based at or collaborating at the the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine working on the science and promotion of maintaining the safety of surfaces in homes, healthcare facilities, and other spaces. This webpage provides links to simple videos about safe surface disinfection and a helpful infographic.

<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.11443" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Fomite transmission and disinfection strategies for SARS-CoV-2 and related viruses</a>. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge and underlying physicochemical processes of virus transmission, in particular via fomites, and common disinfection approaches. Gaps in knowledge and needs for further research are also identified.

Cleaning, laundry and hygiene tips for households are also provided by UNICEF <a href="https://www.unicef.org/coronavirus/cleaning-and-hygiene-tips-help-keep-coronavirus-covid-19-out-your-home#personal-hygiene" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
