Group Works to Help Design Safer Bathrooms for COVID-19 Era

There has been growing concern around ensuring public restrooms are safe

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused concerns about sanitation in public spaces, and nowhere is that truer than in bathrooms, says the American Restroom Association (ARA).

“Conditions in American restrooms were not all that great even before COVID,” said Tim Pyle, ARA's executive director. “Some of the things that were problems before COVID get magnified.”
