Follow Six (6) Easy Steps to Wash Your Hands the Right Way. Washing your hands is easy, and it’s one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19, other viruses, germs and/or infections:
1. Water and Soap
2. Palm to Palm
3. Between Fingers
4. Focus on Thumbs
5. Back of Hands
6. Focus on Wrists
You should wash your hands for at least 20-30 seconds. An easy way to time it is by singing the full happy birthday song, twice.
The same goes for hand sanitizer: use a sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol and rub it into your hands for at least 20 seconds to ensure full coverage.
