No offence, but what exactly are people doing that they are worried their pfds are being exposed to the virus.

Your guess is as good as mine. I was just looking around the USCG website when I saw this and thought I'd share it.

I do NOT want to know what you do with your PFD.

don't do anything crazy with it but i don't think it has ever been cleaned other than swimming in it so i am sure it is pretty funky.  I rarely wear that one though since i went to a self inflating one.

USCG has always been pretty transparent with their policies and recommendations. They are first responders, so I would assume hygiene protocols are in place.
