Commuters
Users of Public Transport (Buses, Trains, the Tube etc.) have a very high chance of catching Bugs. Where possible, windows should always be open. The perfect example is morning the rush hour, where lots of people are constantly within close proximity. Cold and flu viruses especially, travel through the air from a cough or sneeze and get into the body through the mouth or eye. They can also be passed from hand to mouth via carriage handles or straps. Stair bannisters and buttons on a lift elevator are also good examples of where cross-transmission can occur. Aeroplanes also carry similar risks due to the types of ventilation systems, close proximity of passengers, toilet arrangements, and poor hygienic practices employed by individuals. People who are feeling unwell or showing symptoms should not travel in these environments. Therefore there is a huge responsibility on these individuals to recognise their symptoms and behave accordingly; in order to protect others. How to AvoidTheBugs when Commuting:
