3. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds.
4. Rinse your hands well with clean, running water.

If you don't have access to soap and water, you can use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

Why is Hand Hygiene Important?

Hand hygiene is important because it helps to prevent the spread of germs. Germs can be spread from person to person through contact with contaminated surfaces or objects. When you touch your face, you're transferring germs from your hands to your face. This can lead to infection.

Hand hygiene is especially important for people who work in healthcare settings or who have weakened immune systems. These people are more likely to get sick from germs that they come into contact with.

• Be aware of how often you touch your face.
• Keep your hands busy by holding a stress ball or fidget toy.
• Wear gloves when you're in public or around sick people.
• Wash your hands frequently, especially after touching your face.

Washing your hands properly and avoiding touching your face are two of the most important things you can do to prevent the spread of germs. By following these simple tips, you can help to keep yourself and others healthy.
