KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Since 80% of infectious diseases are transferred by touch, In healthcare institutions, objects frequently touched by healthcare workers, patients and visitors can serve as cesspools of contamination and fomites. Hence, there is a particular need for long-term and sustainable solutions for safe public health infrastructure beyond periodic disinfection of surfaces to tackle issues like hospital acquired infections among other issues.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), in February 2021, confirmed that certain copper and its alloys, due to its intrinsic antimicrobial properties, provide long-term effectiveness against viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. Further, copper is one of the first products with residual claims against viruses to be registered for use worldwide. Incorporation of such antimicrobial surfaces in public infrastructure can provide a continuous and sustained alternative of disinfecting common touch surfaces in public places as opposed to the episodic use of cleaning and sanitizing agents.
