Study recommends infection control website to help reduce Covid-19 spreading at home

Researchers say less attention has been given to transmission between family members.

People caring for household members with Covid-19 should be encouraged to clean shared surfaces and ventilate rooms in a bid to stop the virus spreading, experts have suggested.

Professor Paul Little, of the University of Southampton in England, is calling for the promotion of “simple evidence-based interventions” to help curb infection within households and reduce demand on hospitals.
