Are You Gonna Catch The ‘Enterovirus EV-D68′ In Your South Dakota Office?

More than 10 states around the Midwest are seeing higher than normal numbers of children being hospitalized with severe respiratory illnesses. And South Dakota is one of them.

South Dakota's health department has said several samples from patients around the state are suspected of having Enterovirus EV-D68.

A new study shows that germs on an office building's door handle will spread to people scattered throughout a large scale structure in only hours.

So what places in your office should you try to avoid if you want to stay away from the germiest places in your workplace?

According to a recent study these are the dirtiest office surfaces:

1)-Break room sink faucet handles
2)-Microwave door handles
3)-Keyboards
4)-Refrigerator door handles
5)-Water fountain buttons
6)-Vending machine buttons

Of course your best defense from spreading all viruses and germs is to wash your hands well and often.
