Winter ushers in “virus season,” a time when illnesses like the flu and colds become more prevalent. But the threats extend beyond viruses. Bacteria and fungi thrive in environments where people congregate, making schools, hospitals, offices, and public spaces prime targets.
The Speed of Contamination
Studies show that germs can spread rapidly. A single contaminated doorknob can transmit germs to 40-60% of people within just a few hours. High-touch surfaces like countertops, light switches, and even your phone become breeding grounds for bacteria.
The Dangers of Inaction
Bacteria multiply exponentially. Left unchecked, a small number of bacteria can quickly grow into a significant colony, increasing the risk of infection.
Beyond the Common Cold
While common colds are a concern, other serious illnesses like E. coli, salmonella, and norovirus can have severe consequences, especially for vulnerable populations.
Who’s Most at Risk?
- Schools and daycares
- Healthcare facilities
