Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious respiratory disease caused by a virus belonging to the Coronavirus family. To limit the transmission of this virus, precautions must be taken, so that throughout this pandemic a great discussion has been generated about the contamination and decontamination of inanimate surfaces. Most countries have used similar control strategies: measures that act on the environment, trying to decrease the virus load on the surfaces of furniture, clothing and other objects to avoid contact of susceptible hosts with the virus; personal hygiene measures such as frequent hand washing; and measures that act by cutting transmission from symptomatic or asymptomatic infected individuals to susceptible individuals.
