Maintain health and reduce the chances of getting sick by brushing up on this effective handwashing strategy. Follow through by using it, especially at key times outlined below.
Research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates washing our hands correctly plays and important part in preventing illness including colds, flu, and COVID-19. Proper handwashing also reduces the risk of spreading germs to others.
5 Easy Steps for Clean Hands
1. Wet hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap.
2. Lather hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Be sure to lather the backs of hands, between fingers, and under nails.
3. Scrub hands for at least 20 seconds. Hum the "Happy Birthday" song from beginning to end twice, for a fun way to keep track of time.
4. Rinse hands well under clean, running water.
5. Dry hands using a clean towel or air dry them.
Key Times to Wash Hands
Handwashing isn't the only important element that contributes to our well-being.
Eating right, physical activity, adequate rest and sleep, and reducing stress improves overall health and
wellness, and increases resilience during COVID-19 and beyond.
