Communal surfaces at work
Communal surfaces at work, such as kitchens or bathrooms, are all used by multiple people throughout the day. Health specialists have always advised people to wash and sanitize their hands after taking a lunch or bathroom break, in all circumstances, even more so in our current situation.
“Open office spaces are among the worst for Covid-19, particularly if they are sealed office spaces without open ventilation and the air is just recirculated within the building,” said E Hanh Le, M.D., senior director of medical affairs at Healthline.
“To reduce the risk of spreading infection, concerned companies should enforce work-from-home policies to keep contagion down.” Dozens of companies have already taken that advice and allowed their employees to perform their work-related activities from home.

thanks for the good advice
Most of these, I already knew. I get very upset when I have to sign for a transaction with the special pen provided with the machine. The drug department at Price Chopper is the only place that offers hand sanitation lotion on the counter by that machine. Not so in the grocery department. I try to have my own bottle handy to use right away when submitting a check or using a credit card.
I am working at the polls this next presidential election and for the first time, we will be using the electronic signatures. How we are to work with the pen is that each worker keeps their own pen. The one to be used by the voters is to sanitized after each use. That could be another option for the stores, banks, etc.
