December is National Handwashing Awareness Month
Germs are everywhere. Make handwashing with soap and water a healthy habit to protect yourself and your family from getting sick.
Everything you touch has germs that stay on your hands. Make clean hands a healthy habit everywhere you go so you don’t get sick.
Your hands carry germs you can’t see. Take the time to wash your hands for 20 seconds during key times to stay healthy.
Handwashing can help prevent 1 in 5 respiratory illnesses and 1 in 3 diarrheal illnesses. Learn more about the benefits of handwashing.
