“The analysis, published this month in the #JournalofInfection and #PublicHealth, considered the results of 15 studies which used swab samples from mobile phones to test for #SARSCoV2.
Conducted between 2020–23 across 10 different countries, the studies checked 511 #MobilePhones, of which 231 (45%) were found contaminated with SARS-CoV-2.
All the studies took place in #hospitals, with two also conducting tests in #isolation rooms as well as a patient’s house.” https://aus.social/@DenisCOVIDinfoguy/110993842511260259
