A chance encounter with something that had not experienced increases, when you get to the airport, because people to transfer pathogens from around the world. To protect yourself, wash your hands after contact with the following 8 things at the airport (and the plane).
Any pen
If you pushed the revolving door at the entrance to the airport and grabbed the door handle, wash your hands as soon as possible. Although this rule can be applied to doorknobs in all public places, for aeroportuale the most important.
Of course, if you are in a hurry for a flight, it is not always convenient (or even possible) to run to the toilet each time after touching the door handle. But you can carry a small bottle of disinfectant alcohol-based.
