Headline: Designers Create Disposable Finger Covers To Stop Touch Screen Bacteria Spread

Caption:

A tech firm has developed a method to avoid the transmission of germs via touchscreens. Swedish startup Paprtect has created compostable paper covers for your fingers which helps stop the spread of germs when using public touch screens. The covers are dispensed via automatic machines which dish out 2,100 covers before needed reloading. Paprtect is also eco-friendly, as the dispenser is crafted from recycled plastic in Sweden. From fast food restaurants to hotels, grocery stores, hospitals, and shopping malls, Paprtect fits seamlessly into any high-traffic setting where touch screens are used frequently. In its research, Paprtect found there was a "76% reduction in living organisms on touch screens where our solution has been implemented which was also achieved without toxic chemicals from cleaning fluids". As no one physically touches the screen, Paprtect removes the high levels of bacteria that need to be regularly removed by cleaning the screen.
