Humans tend to become lazy, especially with repetitive tasks. We dislike wasting time on things that are unnecessary or monotonous. Add busy schedules operating at full capacity and even the most structured protocols lapse.
The hurrier we go . . . the behinder we get!” – Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
The news of the emerging Delta coronavirus variant(s) is a reminder to review and renew infection control protocols. Consider starting in the break room. When were the coffee cups last sanitized, the counters wiped, the microwave cleaned, the refrigerator emptied and disinfected, or the doorknobs wiped?
