Now think about how many times you touch your face… If you can’t come up with a straight answer, don’t worry; we have a clear example. A study published by the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene analyzed 10 individuals who were all by themselves in a room. They touched their faces approximately 16 times per hour on average.
That’s really scary since you can easily contract COVID-19 from an unsanitized surface. And we are not referring only to coronavirus. There’s a plethora of viruses and bacteria that can live for many hours on different surfaces. Sanitize everything before touching it!

Just sent the article to my relatives and friends; at least we can protect ourselves in our own homes

Suggestions: “knuckle” elevator buttons, use paper towels to grasp door knobs, and routinely wipe work spaces, wash hands after returning to your residence, and change bath towels at least twice a week.
I was surprised about the air dryers but understand why they are. I usually use my elbow to turn it on.
