The better question is why aren’t we ventilating. It is justifiable to clean high contact surfaces as a precaution.

But this is like optimizing the last 2%. The most important thing other than masks and distancing would be opening windows, installing air purifiers that kill viruses, and setting hvac’s to bring in outside air. Co2 meters could be used to gauge effectiveness.

One year in official guidelines in most cases don’t mention ventilation and in some workplaces people are forbidden from ventilating because it isn’t in the guidelines.

We’d be a little chilly or a little warm, but the virus would spread much less readily.
