[labnetwork] Disinfecting Keyboards and Peripherals

[Gila,Brent P]

Hello Mark,

For high traffic and high use keyboards where a lot of key strokes are 
anticipated, we are purchasing fitted keyboard covers so they can be 
removed and wiped down.  This is a $12/keyboard investment initially, 
but an easy way to keep the keyboard surface clean.

For keyboards that do not require a lot of key strokes or a low use 
tool, we are covering the keyboard with pallet wrap or Saran wrap and 
removing it to wipe clean.

That's what we have thought of so far, but I am curious to know what 
others are doing as well.

Best Regards and Stay Safe,
Brent
