Battling office bugs

September 4, 2009

I think that hand washing and sneezing into sleeves is the very minimum that U of S staff can do to help prevent the spread of H1N1 or other viruses. 

I wipe down my computer keyboard and mouse, telephone receiver, and office and other nearby doorknobs with disinfectant wipes.  The same can be done to printers or fax machines in heavily-used working areas.  Keeping office equipment clean is important, especially for shared working stations.
