How should I properly wash my hands?
To properly wash your hands, follow the steps below:
- Remove rings or other jewelry on the hands and wrists
- Wet your hands with warm water
- Wash all parts of your hands with plain soap and water for 15-20 seconds, and rub hands together to create lather
- Rinse hands well under warm running water
- Dry hands with a clean cloth or paper towel
- Use the towel to turn off the tap and open the door when you leave if you are in a public restroom
- If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. After applying the gel or foam, rub your hands together until they are dry. This is an easy way to clean your hands as long as they are not visibly dirty.
