HANDWASHING AND CORONAVIRUS
PREVENTION
In the middle of
the lockdowns,
mask wearing,
and social
distancing,
soap, and water
have a
significant part
to part in the
fight against
COVID-19 that
is easily
forgotten.
As the coronavirus
emerged as a
worldwide health
emergency in
February, health
agencies scrambled
to advise people
how to protect
themselves from
the new virus. One
suggestion –
repeated day after
day, on news
bulletins, adverts,
and expert
interviews – was to
wash hands with
soap, in warm
water, for at least
20 seconds.
Hand Hygiene is one
of the most effective
actions you can take
to reduce the spread
of pathogens and
prevent infections,
including the COVID-
19 virus.
Handwashing is one of
the best ways to
protect yourself and
your family from
getting sick. Learn
when and how you
should wash your
hands to stay healthy.
CLEAN HANDS
PROTECT AGAINST
INFECTION
Clean your hands
regularly. Wash your
hands with soap and
water and dry them
thoroughly. Use
alcohol-based hand
and rub if you don’t
have immediate
access to soap and
water.
