Hand hygiene has never been more important than it is now.

Bacteria and viruses can be found almost anywhere and stay in the host for several days. It may be unintentionally taken home from a high-risk public place or office, and it is easy to spread to other people. Escherichia coli is most active at 37°C. Staphylococcus aureus grows rapidly at 15-45°C. Salmonella grows vigorously at around 37°C and can survive for 2-3 weeks in water with a pH of 4-8+. The COVID-19 virus can survive on copper surfaces for 4 hours; 24 hours on cardboard; 3 days on plastic and stainless steel; 3 hours in an aerosol environment with normal air humidity and temperature. Many countries have found the COVID-19 virus in wastewater and objects in public places.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, frequent handwashing with soap is one of the best ways to prevent infection with the coronavirus. Another option for hand washing is to disinfect frequently to kill bacteria.

When you touch the door handles or handrails in public places, ordinary hand washing cannot completely remove bacteria. Disinfection is the best choice because it is fast and effective. For places with high traffic such as offices, factories, schools, restaurants, churches, etc., you cannot expect people to bring their own fungicides. These sites are responsible for ensuring the safety of employees, students, teachers, and customers. It may not be possible to completely protect individuals from exposure to the virus, but it is crucial to reduce risk.

Several free-standing hand sanitizer racks developed by the AECFUN are very convenient and can be placed anywhere, such as the company’s main entrances and exits, important locations, etc. And it can be combined with posters to remind people to pay attention to hand hygiene and develop good personal hygiene habits.
