Are you washing your hands correctly?

Continuing on with my series on simple steps that everyone can (and should!) take to prevent COVID-19, I’ve reached the seemingly simplest and hopefully least controversial step: handwashing.

Everyone – children, adults, and everyone in between – should be washing their hands frequently every day but especially during the current pandemic to clean germs and dirt off their hands. Teach your children to wash their hands regularly, and remember to set a good example for them by washing your hands regularly as well! You are the most important influence on your children, and if they notice you not washing your hands then you’ll send them a clear message that you don’t believe handwashing to be important, regardless of what you might say.
