A member asked:
Why are hospitals kept so cold to kill germs, but people are advised to wash their hands with hot water to do the same?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Myths: Hospitals are not kept cold to kill germs. This is a false assumption. Or someone has told you a false myth. The room or building environmental temperature has nothing to do with bacteria or other bugs.
