How to keep hands clean and stay safe from coronavirus
With the current outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) around the world, it’s important now more than ever, to keep ourselves clean, safe and protected. Whether you’re on your daily commute, in work, at home or in a restaurant, the best way to stay safe is to make sure your hands are always clean. Whilst this may seem like common knowledge, germs can easily spread after we sneeze or cough, and transfer onto everyday objects like door handles and light switches.
To help you stay safe, we’ve put together a step-by-step guide to keeping your hands clean – whether you’re at home or on-the-go...
Step One: Hand Wash
- Wet your hands under warm running water.
- Apply a small amount of liquid soap to your hands.
- Rub your hands together vigorously, ensuring you massage the soap into your palms, between your fingers, nails and wrists.
- Rinse your hands under warm running water.
- Dry your hands thoroughly using disposable paper towels.
- Turn the tap off using the paper towel or your elbow, to avoid recontaminating your hands.
Step Two: Hand Scrub
Step Three: Hand Mask
Step Four: Hand Moisturiser
