Defend against unseen threats

Over the last two years coronavirus has taken over the entire world. Everyone’s lives have been affected by the virus in one way or another. The pandemic has raised the importance of infection control for communities everywhere. Measures were put in place such as social distancing, mask wearing and hand sanitising in public spaces. Coronavirus certainly raised the importance of continuous infection control.

What you can’t see on the surface

It’s general knowledge in this day and age that sneezing into your hand and immediately touching a door handle, for instance, is a sure way to spread germs. Small respiratory droplets containing pathogens are expelled when an infected person sneezes, coughs, laughs, or exhales in some way which allows pathogens to linger or land onto someone’s hand. However, if you walk into a public bathroom after someone with a virus has just coughed or sneezed you could be at risk because the airborne nature of these pathogens allows them to remain suspended in the air. This also increases the possibility of large amounts of people becoming infected because a lot of people tend to pass through these places.
