What is Adenovirus?
Adenoviruses are a group of over 50 serotypes that cause a wide range of illnesses including conjunctivitis (pink eye), respiratory infections, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, and urinary tract infections. They are among the most common viruses affecting children in schools and daycare centers worldwide.
In 2026, Adenovirus outbreaks continue to surge in educational settings. As a non-enveloped virus, Adenovirus is exceptionally resilient - surviving on surfaces for over 30 days, resisting alcohol-based sanitizers, and tolerating a wide range of temperatures and pH levels.

How Adenovirus Spreads in Schools
Respiratory Droplets
Spread through coughing, sneezing, talking, and laughing in crowded, poorly ventilated classrooms.
Direct Contact
Contact with tears, nasal discharge, or stool from infected children, then touching eyes, nose, or mouth.
Contaminated Objects
Toys, desks, chairs, doorknobs, computers - Adenovirus survives on surfaces for weeks, spreading easily among children who share items.
Swimming Pools
Adenovirus resists low chlorine levels. Poorly maintained pools cause "swimming pool conjunctivitis" outbreaks.
