How often is Covid spreading through touching a random door handle or light switch?
Very clean areas are always appreciated, but this seems to be mandated cosmetic theater and wasteful from the perspective of cutting costs for everybody.
- philipwhiuk 4y agoNever, it's not surface germ. There were zero cases of surface transmission last time I looked.
- amluto 4y agoIIRC there was a case in NZ that seemed likely to have come from a contaminated package of imported food. The difference between zero and near-zero is essentially irrelevant anywhere with community transmission, but it does matter anywhere with a working zero-Covid policy.
