6 tips for fighting germs in the office!
Seasonal flu, coronavirus, all kinds of microbes... Viruses are at work too! Protect yourself from illness by adopting some good habits. Here are 6 tips to stay healthy.
1
WASH YOUR HANDS SEVERAL TIMES A DAY
Wash your hands with soap and water several times a day. You should wash your hands for 30 seconds, rubbing your nails, fingertips, knuckles and wrists. If necessary, complement your washing routine with hydroalcoholic gel: a powerful weapon against germs that you should always have at hand!2
CLEAN THE WORKPLACE REGULARLY
Did you know that your keyboard harbours 400 times more bacteria than a toilet bowl? It's a scary thought, but when you think about it, it makes sense: we clean the toilet more often than our computer keyboard. Get into the habit of cleaning your keyboard, screen, mouse, telephone receiver and anything else that looks suspicious with disinfectant wipes!3
VENTILATE THE OFFICE
Open the windows as often as possible to freshen the air in your office and drive away microbes. You can also use a scented disinfectant spray now and then to eradicate them.4
COUGH AND SNEEZE INTO YOUR ELBOW
Most viruses are transmitted through direct contact (at the workplace especially through the hands). Do you feel like you need to sneeze or cough? Cough into your elbow! This way you reduce the risk of contamination. Practical: Provide tissue boxes in the offices. They can always come in handy. ;)5
