In a recent preprint by the COVID-19 Citizen Science research team titled, “Predictors of Incident Viral Symptoms Ascertained in the Era of Covid-19,” participants who reported sanitizing their phones had significantly decreased risk of developing viral symptoms during the course of the study, by about 20%!

Other key findings are that women and those with high blood pressure were, on average, at higher risk of developing viral symptoms during their time in the study, while those who exercise were generally at lower risk.
