Update: the mannequin's name is Flick! 😁

Skelly and Elfred want you to know the first week of December is National Handwashing Awareness Week!

Especially during respiratory virus season, it is crucial to emphasize the importance of hand hygiene in preventing the spread of germs.

According to the CDC, washing your hands properly reduces the number of people who get sick with diarrhea by 23-40% and reduces respiratory illnesses (like colds) by 16-21%.

For more information on proper handwashing, go to CDC.gov/clean-hands/about/index.html
