BEND, Ore. — To help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other diseases, a roofing contractor has created a free and simple way to open doors using feet instead of hands.
Public objects like metal doorknobs and handles tend to house bacteria and viruses unless they’re regularly sanitized. This has caused people to figure out ways of avoiding touching such objects to prevent catching or spreading COVID-19. Add the fact that the coronavirus can live on stainless steel for up to three days — a common material used to create doorknobs — it presents a problem.
