· Door handle cover protects from contamination

Love it! I'm guessing a zip lock baggie in everyone's pocket would work also?
Yes sure, anything according to that concept. As long as it separates your hands from the door handle, and it doesn't contaminate your pockets! This is why I wanted a cylindrical object, not an open flat one like most others, so the inside would not touch your pocket lining.
My first idea was using left-over pieces of copper tubing, rain/drain-pipe, aquarium-tubing,...
Copper tubing would have the advantage of being self-desinfecting: its oxide outer layer is poisonous and soon kills germs; it is sturdy, easy to machine, and can easily be further desinfected or autoclaved if required. Maybe copper-filled filament would also work, but then you lose the heat-resistance.
Cutting plastic PVC-table cloth, rolling it up in a cylinder, and glueing or sewing together (whatever works on that plastic), also crossed my mind. So, if you have little ziplock bags, or other sleeves, that should be fine, provided it is handy enough.
This below was the original idea, to be made from a piece of rain-pipe. And then it evolved into the "vase", since I don't have piping but I do have a 3D-printer:

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
