Even basic hygiene rituals like dusting and sweeping cannot be ignored. To be safe in your cocoon, here are some cleaning tips that Dr. Anita Mathew, Chief Advisor, Doctor and Infectious Disease Specialist, Fortis Hospital, Mulund.
Before entering the house
Dr. Mathew suggests taking your shoes off outside before entering the house. It's a good idea to wear a couple of different flip-flops indoors than to carry all the germs you've probably brought inside. Placing a shoe rack in the hallway or near the door is one way to easily follow this advice.
After entering the house
As soon as you enter the house, go to the toilet to remove germs from your hands, face, and feet.

Regular hygiene tips
If your home is susceptible to dust, dust the tables and shelves regularly and sweep and clean the floor daily. Your kitchen should be spotless and clean. Keep the ingredients separate after use and clean the counter after cooking. Consider adding a disinfectant solution to the water and cleaning all floors with it.
When your bed is not in use, cover it with a quilt to prevent dust particles from collecting on the sheets and pillows. Change your bedding every three to four days to ensure hygiene.
Enable cross ventilation in all rooms and ventilate them by keeping windows and doors open for a certain time during the day, preferably in the morning. Add air purification systems to the system .
