Object of the Week: The No Touch Tool

These “unprecedented times” call for extra precautions to keep everyone’s health in check.  COVID-19 has made us all vigilant with our hygiene: washing our hands, sanitizing surfaces, clothes, purses, gadgets and everything we touch.

Thankfully, there’s The No-Touch Tool by Nelwood Ph (@nelwood.ph) to make the no touching policy easier for everyone.  This is a simple gadget made of Mahogany, which will prevent you from touching surfaces such as elevator buttons with just your bare hands.  While the COVID-19 virus lasts the least amount of time on copper, it stays for up to 7 days on stainless steel and plastics .  According to this report, on wood, the virus can last for only up to two days, making this a better material for the No Touch Tool. 

This sculptural object made by local craftsmen comes in a pouch so you can easily segregate it from your other things.  Simply disinfect with alcohol after each use or wash with soap and water.
