Samsung Malaysia is offering a free phone sanitising service to all users at its service centres and Samsung Experience stores nationwide.

Any customer can get his or her smartphone – even if it’s a non-Samsung model – cleaned with UV-C light, which sanitises the phone without the need for harsh chemicals.

The company added that it has carefully tested the sanisation devices to ensure that the UV-C light will not affect users' phone. However, Samsung said the UV-C sanitisers are from third-party suppliers so the effectiveness may vary depending on market and model.

You can also sanitise your Samsung tablet and Galaxy Smart Watch but only at The Garden and Pavilion mall in Kuala Lumpur. Use this link to find a Samsung Service centre.

According to a guideline published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of a precaution to curb the spread of Covid-19, people are urged to clean all "high touch" surfaces which include phones, keyboards and doorknobs on a daily basis.

Users can also get more information about Covid-19 from the Ministry of Health portal.
