How to santitise room and electronic equipment after home quarantine for covid 19?

Tested positive for covid 19 about a week ago and quarantined myself in a room in my house. Expect to test negative soon.
How should I sanitise my room, PC, mobile and sofa?

Hello and good afternoon.
Thank you for your question.

Based on your question, I understand that you are worried about your problem. I will try to help you.

How to disinfect

  • Always follow the directions on the label.
  • The label includes instructions on how to use the product and specific instructions to keep you safe. Keep disinfectants out of the reach of children.
    • Check the label to find out what personal protective equipment (PPE) you need to use your product safely (such as gloves, glasses, or goggles).
  • Clean visibly dirty surfaces with household cleaners containing soap or detergent before disinfecting if your disinfectant product does not have a cleaning agent (check the label to verify).
  • Clean and disinfect areas that may have blood, stool, or body fluids on them.
  • Use a disinfectant product that is effective against COVID-19.
    • Read the label to make sure it meets your needs.
    • Bleach solutions can be used if appropriate for the surface.
    • Many products recommend keeping the surface wet with a disinfectant for a certain period of time (look at the “contact time” on the product label).
  • Ensure adequate ventilation while using any disinfectant by keeping doors and windows open and using fans to help improve air flow.
  • Immediately after disinfecting, wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. Be sure to wash your hands immediately after removing gloves.
    • If soap and water are not available and hands are not visibly dirty, use hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. If hands are visibly dirty, always wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

For soft surfaces such as carpet, rugs, and drapes

  • Clean the soft surfaces (carpets, rugs, and drapes) with soap and water or with cleaners made for use on these surfaces.
  • Launder items (if possible) using the warmest appropriate water setting and dry items completely.
  • Disinfect using a product for use on soft surfaces, if needed.
  • Vacuum as usual. If vacuuming an area occupied by a sick person or someone positive for COVID-19 in the last 24 hours, wear a mask when vacuuming.

Laundry

  • Use the warmest appropriate water setting and dry items completely.
  • If handling dirty laundry from a person who is sick, wear gloves and a mask.
  • Clean clothes hampers or laundry baskets according to guidance for surfaces.
  • Wash hands after handling dirty laundry.

Electronics

  • Consider putting a wipeable cover on electronics (for example, phones, tablets, touchscreens, keyboards, and remote controls) to make cleaning easier.
  • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning the electronic device.
  • If needed, use a disinfectant but note that many of the products for electronics contain alcohol because it dries quickly.

I hope this answer helps you. Thank you.
