Follow Five Steps to Wash Your Hands the Right Way
Washing your hands is easy, and it’s one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs. Clean hands can stop germs from spreading from one person to another and throughout an entire community—from your home and workplace to childcare facilities and hospitals.
Follow these five steps every time.
- Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap.
- Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.
- Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice.
- Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.
- Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.
Attention to wall workers, if you don’t feel well please stay home and go to the doctor. Do not make anyone else sick at work.
Thank you
Please if you are sick please stay home ,I do not want to get sick. Do not be a hero nobody cares. Someone else can do your job of the day.
Very true.
It’s amazing how many of us do not know how to wash their hands. Rinsing your hands with cold water, is not washing your hands. And it’s amazing I’m riding the bus to New York City, and how many adults are picking their nose.
It would be nice if we had a local bathroom in the CBD too utilize & wash our hands. Maybe the council will build one somewhere.
