Hand Hygiene is one of the most effective actions you can take to reduce the spread of pathogens and prevent infections, including #COVID19.
Join the #SafeHands challenge and practice the right technique.
The virus primarily spreads through droplet & contact transmission: by touching infected people, contaminated objects or surfaces. Your hands can spread virus to other surfaces & to your 👄, 👃 or 👀 if you touch them.
