- You must not share the use of cell phones, headphones or keyboards. If this is not possible, disinfect the equipment before and after each use;
- You should not drink from packages or bottles, nor share food or packaging whose interior is manipulated with your hands (fries, nuts and other snacks);
- Dishes, glasses, cups, kitchen utensils, towels, sheets or other items must not be shared with people who live in the household;
- After using dishes, glasses, cups, kitchen utensils, they must be washed with hot water and soap (hand dishwashing detergent) or in the dishwasher;
- In situations where the person with suspected infection is awaiting the analysis result for COVID-19, after using clothes, sheets and towels, they must be placed in a plastic bag properly and identified, until the test result is known;
- Clothes, bed linen and towels must be machine washed, at the highest temperature possible (above 60º), using machine detergent.
