A member asked:
Is it fundamental to use seat covers when using a public restroom(is work restroom better?) and what is the worst that could happen if you don't?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Advisable, when able: Mostly cleanliness issues, but unless open wounds on the contact skin area with the toilet the chance for any form of contamination is minimal. Hands hygiene still applies as that is the main way of contracting and carrying infections.
