Hygiene resources in France
About one quarter of all French have never cleaned their mobile phones (Sweden: 36,8%, Russia: 11,2%). More than half of the French are neither more nor less worried by the increased global information flow about diseases and epidemics (Mexico: 17,5%, Germany: 42,2%). 30,7% of the French have still faith in their health care providers when it comes to get hygiene information (China: 8,3%, Australia: 20,4).
