Winter Flu Season & Surface Spread: How L42 Strengthens Hospital Hygiene


1. Introduction

Winter brings a rise in flu, viral fever and respiratory infections. Hospitals and clinics experience higher patient traffic, increasing the chances of virus transfer through touchpoints like door handles, beds, counters and equipment.L42 Hospital Grade Disinfectant helps maintain strong hygiene standards by reducing surface-borne virus spread during the peak winter flu season.


2. Why Flu Spreads Faster in Winter

Cold temperatures allow viruses to survive longer on surfaces. Indoor spaces remain closed, reducing airflow and increasing contamination risk. When infected patients touch surfaces or cough nearby, droplets settle on tables, chairs, railings and medical equipment—making these surfaces a constant source of viral transfer.


3. Key Problems During Winter Flu Season

A) Longer Survival of Viruses on Surfaces

Winter conditions keep surfaces cold and moist, helping flu viruses remain active for hours.

B) High Touchpoint Contamination

Reception counters, waiting chairs, lift buttons and OPD surfaces get contaminated quickly due to increased patient movement.

C) Faster Cross-Infection in Crowded Areas

Close indoor contact and shared surfaces allow infections to spread rapidly from one patient to another.


4. How L42 Hospital Grade Disinfectant Helps

A) Eliminates Viruses on High-Risk Surfaces

L42 effectively kills flu-causing viruses, bacteria and pathogens on medical surfaces, lowering the risk of transmission.

B) Provides Strong, Long-Lasting Protection

Its powerful hospital-grade action ensures high-level hygiene even during peak patient flow in winter.

C) Supports Safer Indoor Environments

Regular use of L42 reduces contamination in OPD, ICU, diagnostic rooms and waiting areas, helping protect both patients and staff.


5. Benefits

  • Reduces surface-borne flu and viral contamination

  • Keeps high-touch areas hygienic throughout the day

  • Supports infection control in hospitals and clinics

  • Lowers cross-infection risk in crowded spaces

  • Maintains cleaner, safer patient-care environments

  • Ideal for winter when viral load is at its peak


6. Conclusion

Winter flu season increases surface contamination and cross-infection risks in healthcare spaces.L42 Hospital Grade Disinfectant strengthens hospital hygiene by eliminating viruses and maintaining safer, high-protection environments throughout the winter months.
