Take into account laptops, mobile devices, and monitors and there is a sever risk of unknowingly passing along infectious diseases to staff and patients.
The problem however, is not that the staff are overlooking proper sanitation protocols, it’s that the devices they have access to are simply not designed to be cleaned with effective agents.
