In these challenging times wrecked by the deadly Covid-19, it is essential to minimise direct contact with various objects to prevent the spreading of the virus. At the time of lockdown, it was quite evident that certain routines were pretty hazardous, like usage of water taps, disposal of cotton, sanitary pads, tissues, etc. These could lead to the spreading of this deadly virus through direct contact.
