• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

So I normally wash my hands before eating and I also did this time when eating bread. But then after my first bite i realised my cellphone was in my bedroom and I always play on my cellphone when eating bread. I use my left hand to play on my cellphone and my right hand to eat my bread. So I went to my bedroom to get my cellphone which was charging and took it and charged it in the livingroom. Then I started eating again and when I almost finished my bread I realised I havent washed my hands after touching my dirty cellphone and charger. I’m scared for corona. I don’t know if you can get corona like this. Am I still safe?

Scientists believe that that inhaling quantities of coronavirus is the typical way that people get dangerous cases of COVID 19.

Though virus can be picked up from surfaces where coronavirus has been deposited within the last (3) days, ... and that virus introduced into the body through neglecting to wash ones hands, ... that, typically isn't the path to severe illness.

Unless your phone has been around people with COVID 19, there isn't any chance for infection, ... and even if so, the chance of severe disease is small.

So. I don't think that you really have to worry about it at this point ...
