When someone in the office is down with the flu and still shows up at work, we only have one thing on our mind: To avoid catching the germ and falling sick as well. But did you know that the flu virus can stay on infected surfaces for 24 hours? For a communicable illness like the flu, it is easy to catch it when one is always in shared spaces such as the office. If you are concerned for your employees, commercial office disinfection services in Singapore are always available for you.
Think about the places you touch and the objects you use the most at work. Some of the commonly used places touched by many include the photocopier, door knobs, table tops and even the water dispenser. They may be harbouring the flu virus and the scariest thing is, you are unaware of it. The flu virus can also survive as droplets in the air around you for a few hours, more if the temperature decreases. They can travel up to about two metres when an infected person coughs or sneezes and as a result, it is possible for the flu virus to eventually spread throughout your office space. Especially in the cold office environment, no wonder it is possible to pick up the virus and be the next to fall ill.
