Swabbing at Airports: A Tool to Predict COVID-19 Outbreaks.
Scientists from Japan conducted computational simulations based on real-life behavioral data to visualize how viruses spread to common household items shortly after people return home. Their results illustrate the importance of immediate hand sanitization upon returning to avoid contact infection, reinforcing the effectiveness of good hygiene. The study sheds light on how viruses spread through contact with household items and highlights the need for hand disinfection at the right time and place to prevent contact transmission.
