20010305: Important Anti-Virus Measures for Techs

March/2001
Tech Note #5

Because computer techs routinely come into contact with the keyboards, mice and telephones of many different people on a daily basis, they are at high risk for contracting viruses, colds and the flu. For a helpful and interesting look at this problem and what you can do to stay healthy, have a look at Pat Vickers' TechRepublic article "Techs can avoid cold/flu viruses by washing hands". The basic message is wash your hands as soon as is practical after touching other users' peripherals, and in the meantime, don't touch your face.
