CDC & EPA's Tips For Killing Coronavirus Germs
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has compiled a list of products that have been proven effective on similar or harder-to-kill viruses.
Additional Tips:
According to the CDC, hydrogen peroxide is a stable and effective disinfectant against viruses when used on hard, non-porous surfaces. Isopropyl alcohol is an effective disinfectant against many pathogens, including coronavirus, as long as the concentration is 70%. According the the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC), an easy way to disinfect hard, non-porous surfaces with a product you likely have at home is to combine 1/3 cup of regular chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite) bleach per gallon of water.

Gig Workers Connection Map
Gig Workers Collective created a mutual aid connection feature that'll allow volunteers to connect with gig workers who need assistance. This includes:
Resource connection - Workers need assistance applying for benefits like unemployment, food stamps, hardship programs for medical bills and student loans. Etc.
Virtual buddies - Just someone who can do check-ins and/or offer emotional support for each other. This is an opportunity for gig workers to get introduced to new gig workers in similar circumstances
Running errands - If workers are too sick to go out or they need to stay inside due to an autoimmune condition, they may need help picking up essentials like prescriptions and household essentials.
They also have an entire list of local and national resources
