University of Arizona researchers conducted a study “at an office building with 80 employees. They contaminated a push-plate door at the building entrance with a virus called bacteriophage MS-2. It doesn't infect people yet is similar in shape, size and survivability to common cold and stomach flu viruses,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Within two hours, the virus had contaminated the break room—coffee pot, microwave button, fridge door handle—and then spread to restrooms, individual offices and cubicles. There, researchers found, the virus had heavily contaminated phones, desks and computers. By four hours, they found the virus on more than 50% of the commonly touched surfaces and on hands of about half of the employees in the office.”
