Why hygiene at large events remains important

The heart of the hygiene concept: over 400 disinfection dispensers distributed throughout the entire stadium. Whether in the stands, toilet facilities, fan shop or players' cabins, the disinfection dispensers allow everyone to disinfect their hands quickly and easily throughout FC Bayern München's home stadium. With its broad spectrum of efficacy, Sterillium® Gel pure provides effective protection against bacteria, fungi and viruses.

Even if protection against the Corona virus is still the focus of attention when planning major events, a good hygiene concept is sensible regardless of the pandemic. After all, many other pathogens can be spread at football matches, concerts or festivals.

A quick reminder: The best friend of viruses, bacteria and co. are surfaces that many people touch. These may be stair railings in stadiums or porta-potty door handles at festivals. And since pathogens are most often transmitted via the hands [3], extensive surface disinfection in areas we frequently touch is important too.

In the Allianz Arena, for example, stadium staff use HARTMANN Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Tissues on many surfaces. These material-friendly rapid disinfection wipes disinfect a wide variety of surfaces - quickly, easily, and above all, effectively.

Unfortunately, when visiting large events, people do not always have access to toilets with running water and soap. Regular festival-goers can tell you a thing or two about this. But not even theatres or museums always provide good opportunities for washing one's hands.

In such situations, disinfectants such as Sterillium® Protect & Care Disinfection Gel Hands or Sterillium® Protect & Care Disinfection Tissues Hands can help, as they fit easily into your pocket and can be taken everywhere. So before biting into your burger the next time you go to an open-air concert, why not disinfect your hands first.

Of course you don't have to disinfect every table or doorknob before touching it. Washing or disinfecting your hands thoroughly is usually sufficient. In some cases, however, it may be useful to disinfect certain surfaces at events.

The best example of this is our smartphones, which are often full of germs. That's why it's a good idea to wipe your mobile phone with a surface disinfectant such as Sterillium® Protect & Care Disinfection Tissues Surface every now and then, especially at events like concerts and festivals. Better yet: leave it in your pocket and just enjoy the music. We promise you won't miss a blurry video of your favourite band later.
