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.
