Copper has proven effective in killing viruses and microbes, but its practical application in hospitals is limited due to high maintenance costs and corrosion issues. Disinfection protocols in hospitals are already rigorous, making the transition to copper surfaces potentially ineffective and costly. While both copper and silver have mild antibacterial properties, they are not as effective as traditional disinfectants. The discussion also highlights that maintaining copper surfaces requires similar labor to existing disinfection methods, questioning their practicality in various settings. Overall, while copper's antimicrobial potential is recognized, its implementation faces significant logistical challenges.
