Coronavirus: Dr Hilary reveals eight key tips you must follow when self-isolating

With self-isolation becoming an everyday reality for broad swathes of the UK population, Dr Hilary went on the Lorraine show this morning to offer eight key tips you should follow while hunkering down at home.

The first tip is to use your own cutlery, mugs, glasses, and wash up your kitchen utensils using warm, soapy water or a dishwasher, said Dr Hilary.

Then you must wipe down any hard surfaces you touched with cleaning products containing bleach.

Towels and bedding should also be regularly washed on a hot wash of 60 degrees to kill the virus, said Dr Hilary.

Dr Hilary’s fifth tip was to double bag bin wastage as a precautionary measure.
