Lack of hygiene awareness


No letting up: Subway workers cleaning and disinfecting glass door panels on a platform at a subway station in Shanghai, China. The country is stepping up efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus with a series of relief measures for companies directly engaged in the fight against the respiratory illness.

WHILE many people zero in on those who eat wild animals for the novel coronavirus outbreak, I beg to differ. I would blame it on the lack of hygiene awareness among the Chinese, which I dare say is one big problem.

Although some workers have returned to work since last Friday, many companies are observing the flexible working hours or have their employees working from home.
