Problem and implemented solution

PROBLEM: sickness of staff and clients, schoolchildren and students, interruption of educational and work process due to multiple quarantines. Large number of epidemics and pandemics, decreased collective immunity, deaths As an example: doorknobs are the second highest in bacteria and viruses. After a study conducted by the Worcester Institute, the system found that 1,323 bacterial colonies were moved between 27 doorknobs. The study was conducted on a college campus. Flu viruses can persist on doorknobs for up to 24 hours. That's enough time to create a foothold for further spread of disease. The study, found that out of 561 people, 86 people touched their face after contact with a doorknob within 35 minutes. SOLUTION: An antibacterial door handle is a product that can reduce potential cases of infection by 15%. The door handle has a special design that is unique in that it has a built-in UV light source that sanitizes the surface. 99% of coronavirus particles are eliminated in 2.5 seconds.
