Lately, it has become more vital than ever to keep our hands clean. But, do you actually know how to properly wash your hands?
With the current COVID-19 pandemic in full force it has been recommended by the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention (CDC) for the public to stay on top of their hand hygiene.
As the world continues to shut down practically everything, it’s become more noticeable that we have a global health crisis on our hands, both figuratively and literally.
Even if we’re healthy, and consider ourselves to be quite clean people, the current COVID-19 is very vigilant in finding persons with poor hand washing techniques. Considering that it can live on surfaces for up to three days, it’s vitally important to keep on top of our cleanliness, and that starts with hand washing.
Whether you’re young, old, healthy, or immune compromised, washing your hands is something you should be doing on a daily basis, regardless of what’s going on in the world.
In order to keep germs from going into your body or the bodies of others, it’s important to wash your hands frequently, and follow the proper protocols for hand washing.
However, and quite surprisingly, not everyone knows the proper way they should be washing their hands, with many not following the recommended advice.
