How quickly can a virus on a doorknob contaminate a building?

Right now, the whole country is abuzz due to the Wuhan coronavirus. The Kyobo Life Insurance building in Dongseong-ro, Daegu, has been closed to all workers residing in the building for disinfection reasons. Disinfecting the building right away will remove any remaining viruses, but when people move in, the virus will be introduced and spread again. So how fast does the virus spread? In this regard, we would like to introduce you to a 2014 study by the University of Arizona. 

So, what can you do to prevent yourself from contracting the virus?

Professor Charles Gerva, who published the study, said: "Most people think that it is coughing and sneezing that spread germs, but it is the hands that spread the disease faster than the sneeze." In addition, the risk of infection can be reduced to less than 10 percent by providing toilet paper, disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer, as well as simple practices such as washing hands before lunch and after meeting people.

Adults are said to touch their faces with their hands an average of 16 times an hour. You can carry the virus on your hands without realizing it. Personal hygiene is more important than ever. Please overcome the Wuhan Corona with thorough personal hygiene management.
