Hygiene resources in Germany
Germans are topping the statistics with 55,4% respondents more concerned now about toilet hygiene than before the swine flu alerts (Russia. 34,7%, Australia: 45,5%). And as many as one third of the Germans avoid public toilets because of their hygiene (Sweden: 14,3%, Russia: 49,6%). 64,4% of the Germans think it is very important that people with sick children should stay at home in order to avoid infecting their colleagues (Russia: 50,8%, USA: 68,9%).
