[aisle] Coronavirus question

This article is good:

the virus, according to this testing, lives: 3 hours in the air, 4 hours on
copper, 24 hours on cardboard, and 2-3 days on plastic and stainless
steel.  I have not changed anything yet but I was planning to propose the
following :  Checkout only 1-2 books at a time, wipe down books with clorox
wipes and set aside for 3 days.  My school district hasn't made any changes
to book checkout at this point.
