That’s good advice—public restrooms can carry a higher risk of germs if you’re not careful. A few simple precautions go a long way:
- Avoid touching surfaces directly when possible (use tissue for handles, flush, etc.)
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap for at least 20 seconds
- Use hand sanitizer if soap isn’t available
- Try not to place personal items (phone, bag) on surfaces
- Keep a bit of distance from visibly unclean areas
It’s not about fear—just smart hygiene.
