Using covid patient cellphone
My mother succumbed to covid after getting admitted in hospital in just two days...
All the time and prior to getting admitted...she has her cellphone which she was also using in hospital...after her death the phone was packed along with her body which was retrieved later on from body bag and since then it's been around two months and it is kept aside.
I want to know whether now is it safe to keep out that phone and use it...and what precautions should be taken...can it be still contagious??
