Legislators in the state of New York have introduced bills designed to require the use of copper pushplates on doors in buildings that will be built with public funding or financing.
An April 17 online report by the Rome (New York) Sentinel indicates two different legislators have introduced bills that would “require construction projects that receive public funding to use antimicrobial copper alloy for all touch surfaces to reduce the spread of disease-causing bacteria and viruses, including COVID-19.”
Copper and copper alloys have been gaining attention and some investment as materials that can help prevent the spread of viruses and other microbes.
