1/6 Did you know that #handwashing with soap & water destroys
the novel #coronavirus that causes #COVID19? Soap molecules are attracted to fat so they get into the virus’ shell (made of fat & protein), then break it apart.
2/6 This causes the virus to dissolve in water, disintegrating so it flushes down the drain. Any kind of soap will do! You don’t need antibacterial or other specialsoaps. #SaveLivesCleanYourHands
3/6 What you do need, is the right amount of time and care to rub the soap all over every part of your hands – that’s why you should #WashYourHands
for at least 20 seconds.
4/6 For best results, 1st rinse with a bit of water, then rub or dispense soap & rub all over hands for 20 seconds – back of hands, front of hands, between fingers, finger tips & don’t forget your thumbs & nails. Then rinse and dry your hands well.
5/6 WashYourLyrics.com can customise your favourite song into a 20 second handwashing poster so you can sing along to follow all the steps for good #handwashing!
6/6 Hand sanitizers work in the same way, but in order to be effective they need to have at least 60% alcohol content and you need to rub all over till dry. Makes sense to #WashYourHands! #Science
