Research suggests that up to 80 percent of infectious diseases are spread by hands that are not cleaned well or often enough. A simple 20-second wash with soap and water helps break the chain of infection in homes, schools, workplaces, and care settings.
During National Handwashing Awareness Week, we encourage everyone to:
โช๏ธWash before eating or preparing food
โช๏ธWash after using the bathroom or changing a diaper
โช๏ธWash after coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose
โช๏ธWash when you return home from public places
โช๏ธScrub all parts of your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, then rinse and dry with a clean towel or air dry.
Clean hands support healthier patients, families, and communities.
