[Notebook] Statement of cleaning process with alcohol solutions on ASUS laptops
Question 1: If my computer is manufactured in the country where there are cases of COVID-19, is it possible that the virus can be spread through products made in that country?
Answer 1: No. The computer has to go through a multi-step distribution process after being produced in the factory. Usually it takes around two weeks to reach consumers, which exceeds the amount of time the virus can survive on any surface. Please do not worry. Furthermore, we make sure to monitor the related customs regulations and industry best practices, which indicate that additional steps aren’t needed.
Question 2: How can I ensure that the virus will disappear after 2 weeks?
Answer 2: A joint medical study by the United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Princeton University and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) that was published in the New England Medical Journal found that the survival time of COVID-19 on different materials ranges from only 1 to 4 days. Two weeks is much longer than 4 days, so your computer is safe.

Question 3: Two weeks (14 days) or more is much longer than 4 days. I feel relieved, but are there any other ways to prevent any contamination?
Answer 3: Yes. During the packaging process in the factory, alcohol is used at the final stage for wiping down the computer at the time of visual inspection. This process ensures the external quality of our products and cleans the product.
Question 4: I feel more assured. Is there anything else I can do?
Answer 4: Yes. As an extra precaution, you can gently wipe the surface of your ASUS computer with 75% alcohol solution and a paper towel to clean and disinfect it.
