I've been wiping down my phone if use hand sanitiser when out and when bcak from work. Not sure how effective it is though.

it can survive on your phone in the same way it can survive on any surface. So not indefinitely, not even for that long, but it could be there.
Clean your phone like you would clean any surface you'd be concerned about.

Caveat: Not public health advice, one study etc.
It's always said keyboards are dirtier than toilets though so I can believe phone screens are dirty. Presumably your phone screen will only have the virus if you put it there though?

Really daft question, mobile phones must be a massive health hazard right now. I know no one uses their phones to actually call these days but still.
You should arguably clean your phone more often than your hands or am I wrong here?
