Reducing the risk of mouth-to-mouth transmission of pathogens via re-usable, machine-read parking tickets: an observational cohort study
The car parks at the study hospital are accessed using re-usable, machine-read tickets. In the initial phase of this study, 598 staff members were observed entering the car park, and 21.6% of them put their parking ticket in their mouth. Ultraviolet dye was used to demonstrate card-to-card cross-con...
