However, unfortunately it was spread of coronavirus or rather lack of Covid-19 vaccination that scared the authorities to direct the suspension of biometric attendance to stop the spread, that otherwise would have been lethal.
You bring back this infection home and infect the members of your family. Now all employees in the office touch the infected biometric machine and within a few hours the entire office is infected. She comes to the office getting infected, sneezes and touches the biometric attendance system. Your colleague travels either in the bus, metro, and other modes of public transportation, and shares space with a co-passenger that sneeze, cough openly and this same co-passenger touches the handles of the public transport, your employee touches the same handle then touches face without washing hands and gets infected unfortunately and unknowingly. Imagine a day in the life of your colleague.
Is it really about Coronavirus or rather we should worry about the spread of viruses in offices in general? Offices are the hotbeds for the growth of bacterias and viruses thus infecting entire offices within a short span of time. As per the research published in the Journal of hospital infection, Coronavirus can stay for upto 5 days on metal, plastic and ceramic surfaces.
Rachel Graham an epidemiologist at the University of North Carolina concluded that the life span of Coronavirus is “few hours to few days”. The Coronavirus scare led to the suspension of Biometric attendance system in offices of Delhi Govt from Mafollowed by offices of Government of India, Sports Authority of India, NGT thus forcing private & public companies to follow suit.
