Video: Common office objects tested for bacteria
We asked Dr. Zain Chagla, infectious disease physician, to test some common objects that we touch daily for bacteria.
In the video below, he swabs and tests a pen, mobile phone and tablet -- one passes, the other two fail. On Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) Week, it's a reminder to practice good hand hygine and to sanitize everyday objects. That's specially important for mobile phones, which come into contact with our faces.
