During the fall and winter, we tend to gather with family and friends. The holidays are a great time to be together. But if can also be a time when germs are spread. Clean hands are the best way to keep you and your family from getting sick. Hand-washing should take place:
• When you are making food
• Before you eat
• After touching a pet or feeding a pet
• After coughing or sneezing
• After going to the restroom
• After cleaning, and
• After touching the garbage
Remind your family when and how best to wash their hands. Make routine hand-washing a rule for all. Teach hand-washing to younger children by washing your hands together. Hand-washing best practices are:
1. Use clean, running water to wet hands.
2. Use soap and lather for 10 to 20 seconds. Focus on both sides, (front and back) of hands, nails, and between fingers.
3. Rinse hands fully and dry with a clean towel.
If you cannot use soap and water, choose hand sanitizers or waterless soap. Just like soap, rub the sanitizer on the back of hands, in between fingers and nails.
