Grocery Stores:

We often touch products and carts used to carry products and the products will have lot of bacteria and other infections attached to it, because customers touché the products or cart with sneezed or coughed hands. So, customer transfers the infections to products. Especially carts are said to have E.coli bacteria. So, be careful and don’t allow children to touch carts.

Work Place:

We might be surprised to know that the work place which looks clean is actually a hub of infections. Yes it is absolutely true. The main reason is cleanliness, i.e., lack of proper cleaning. The place or systems we use are not cleaned with disinfectants solutions and so they pave way for accumulation of infections. So, avoid keeping snacks or lunch on the table of work place and wash hands before you eat the food.
