• 2019-nCoV is a respiratory infection caused by a novel
(new) virus that arose from the area of Wuhan, China in
December, 2019.
• Most of the early cases of this illness were linked to a
large seafood and animal market suggesting possible
animal-to-person spread of the virus.
• Coronavirus (CoV) first discovered in the 1960’s. Some
corona viruses cause illness in people and others
circulate among animals including camels, cattle, cats
and bats.

• Most often, spread from person-to-person
happens among close contacts (about 6
feet).
• Person-to-person spread is thought to occur
mainly via respiratory droplets produced
when an infected person coughs or sneezes,
similar to how influenza and other
respiratory pathogens spread.

• These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of
people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into
the lungs.
• It’s currently unclear if a person can get 2019-
nCoV by touching a surface or object that has the
virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose,
or possibly their eyes.

HANDWASHING

HAND HYGIENE
Hand hygiene is very important in every setting. It is
considered as one of the simplest and most effective means
of preventing the spread of flu and other infectious diseases.
Hands are the main pathways of germ transmission. Hand
hygiene is therefore the most important measure to avoid the
transmission of harmful germs.

What should you do?
• Wash your hands after: using the toilet, coughing or sneezing

into hands, engaging in any activity that may have
contaminated hands.
• Wash your hands before: handling food, eating or drinking,
smoking, brushing teeth, engaging in any activity that
involves hand-to-mouth contact.
• Wash your hand after blowing your nose, sneezing and even
coughing
• Wash your hands frequently throughout the day even if you
think they don’t need to be washed.
Use Hand Sanitizer When You Can’t Use
Soap and Water
• Sanitizers do not get rid of all types of germs.
• Hand sanitizers may not be as effective when hands
are visibly dirty or greasy.
• Hand sanitizers might not remove harmful chemicals
from hands like pesticides and heavy metals.

The 3 benefits of hand washing
• Eliminating germs & reducing illness

• Less time off work & school
• Reduced Medical Bills

Preparation:
• Nails should be kept short
• Remove all jewelry
• Check hands for breaks in the skin, such as hangnails
or cuts

HAND WASHING
