Flight attendant reported the time allotted for the required checks and briefings is not enough.

Narrative:

Currently we are required to report X time before departure when out of base for type X aircraft. Ten minutes later; customer boarding commences. Ten minutes was barely enough under normal circumstances to stow our gear; prep with what we need for flight; check necessary supplies (paperwork; galley needs; etc). Briefing is impossible. Luckily my crew originated couple days ago so no briefing needed. However; if a 'new' flight attendant joins us; they need to be briefed. Now with covid; it takes me at least 5 minutes to thoroughly clean my area; 10 minutes is not doable.
