Hand Washing

3 Keys to Wash Your Hands Properly

Washing your hands is vital to keep from getting COVID-19. But are you washing your hands properly?

1.    Keep it hot - Start by wetting your hands up to the wrists thoroughly. Use hot water; it kills more bacteria.

2.    Lather up - Rub soap between your hands until you’ve created a rich lather, then rub the lathered soap over the entire surface area of your skin, including the back, the front, and in between the fingers.

3.    Take time - To kill bacteria, and viruses, the soap must be in contact with your skin for at least 20 seconds.
