News on Wellness: “As reported at the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, officials advised that within hours, viruses found on door handles and other surfaces can spread to more than 50% of people in the workplace. This information comes from a study conducted by researchers at the University of Arizona.”
“Recently Charles Gerba, a top microbiologist, along with several colleagues, planted an innocuous virus within the workplace. The virus was placed on a tabletop or doorknob in a conference room, office, and healthcare facility where associated bacteria were not currently present. Workers associated with the companies involved were fully aware and consented.”
“The outcome of the study showed that up to 60% of employees had come into contact with the virus within just a two to four hour period. In addition to the selected locations, the virus had been spread by workers to other areas to include phones, computers, a break room, and even on bed rails within the healthcare facility.”
