Topic Reading-Vol.3046-8/13/2020


Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Covid-19 is taking elevator anxiety to the next level. This Indian tech company has a solution
Touching something that is touched by others, like elevator buttons and touch panels, now makes you feel unsafe. Some study has found that there are more bacteria on elevator buttons than toilet seats. But when you ride an elevator, you need to push or touch the button of the floor you want to go to unless it is already lit. How do you do that? Do you always wear gloves when you go out or put ones on when you have to touch something? Do you use something to push or touch, or spray disinfectant on the button before you touch it? This is a very serious issue for those who live in a tall apartment or work in a multi-floor office building as they need to use an elevator multiple times a day. But when there is a problem, there are solutions. You could use a toothpick to press a button. At a shopping mall in Bangkok, foot pedals are installed to choose the floor with a foot. In some buildings, touchless buttons have replaced conventional buttons. Whichever the way it might be, you want to avoid touching an elevator button even after the coronavirus pandemic.
Read the article and think if you want to bring something to get on an elevator next time.
