Global Handwashing Day

Today is Global Handwashing Day. We all know that hand washing can reduce the spread of infection, including COVID-19 and seasonal flu – but are we always washing our hands correctly?

•  Wet hands thoroughly and lather with soap

• Rub your hands together for at least 20 seconds as you wash them

• Pay attention to the backs of hands, wrists, between fingers and under fingernails

• Rinse your hands well under running water

• Dry hands with a single use paper towel or a clean towel
