According to the French High Council for Public Hygiene, an infection is called 'nosocomial' if it did not exist when the patient was admitted to the hospital.
People are every day more mobile and transport means are developing. Public transport systems carry more and more people who travel always with increased facility from one destination to another.
Three steps are required for the transmission of an infectious disease from one individual to another:
The disinfection function consists in making materials and premises healthy in terms of bacterial contamination. This is a crucial challenge for the industries, for those who work there and for the protection of the final product and, therefore, for the consumer.
Wearing a mask prevents the direct contamination of the health professional, but what about the surrounding surfaces? Propelled in the air, viruses and bacteria are very mobile, flow from one room to another, borne by the movement of people.
While some areas need all our attention, others should not be overlooked as they pose real problems in terms of possible infections.
