Gloves can give a false sense of security — contaminated gloves and wrong use still spread germs. Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use a 60%+ alcohol sanitizer when water isn’t available, especially before eating, after using the toilet, after coughing/sneezing, and after being outdoors. Strong hand hygiene reduces diarrheal disease, respiratory infections, school absences and protects vulnerable people in our communities.

Keep it simple, consistent, and teach children with songs or timers to make washing fun. Health facilities, workplaces, schools and homes all rely on clean hands as the first line of defense against seasonal flu, colds, stomach bugs and eye infections.
