22.01.2022 Public urinals could be phased out in wake of coronavirus pandemic It seems everything is changing as we embrace our new normal even toilets which experts have described as a potpourri for bugs. Urinals could be relegated to the history books while foot-operated flushes and taps with sensors may be the future of public toilets in a post-pandemic world.... At least that's the suggestions being made in a UK report which has recommended sweeping changes to public toilets in order to make them COVID-19 safe moving forward. The British Toilet Association has advised companies and councils install bathrooms with touchless technology such as sensor soap dispensers and taps, foot-operated flushes and doors. And the recommendations could lead the way for toilet safety standards across the globe, including Australia. PUBLIC TOILETS ARE A ‘POTPOURRI FOR BUGS’ Australasian College for Infection Prevention and Control president and Monash University School of Nursing and Midwifery associate professor Philip Russo told news.com.au public toilets were a potpourri for bugs simply because of their high use and frequently touched surfaces. Clever design in public toilets such as the changes suggested by the British Toilet Association as well as good hand hygiene and frequent cleaning were key to stopping the spread of coronavirus in this environment, he said. Any design that minimises or eliminates using hands (e.g. self opening/closing doors, foot operated taps etc) are preferable, Assoc Prof Russo said.
