Turning the water faucet of elementary and junior high school from the hand-operated type to the lever type Shimane Onancho May 20, 6:03

To prevent infection with the new coronavirus, Eunan Town, Shimane Prefecture, decided to replace the taps of all elementary and junior high schools in the town with a lever type instead of a handwheel type.

In order to prevent infection with the new coronavirus, the country has called for hand washing.

Many faucets in school washrooms have to be touched directly by hand by hand, and there are some fears that the virus may adhere to the faucet when touching the faucet after hand washing.

In response to these voices, Onan-cho, Shimane Prefecture decided to replace the faucet in the toilets and washrooms of elementary and junior high schools in the town hall with the lever type.

With the lever type, you can operate it with your elbows, etc., which reduces the risk of viruses getting on your hands after washing your hands.

"Impressive lever-type faucet is cleaner than the hand-operated type, but it is meaningless to operate it manually, so I would like to teach you how to use it properly." Is talking.

In addition, Eunan-cho says, "I would like to quickly proceed with the replacement with the lever-type faucet in physical education facilities in the town."
