    Proper handwashing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds removes viruses like SARS-CoV-2 from hands, breaks the chain of transmission by eliminating the virus from surfaces people touch, and protects both yourself and others from infection by minimizing virus transmission. Handwashing is crucial for preventing the spread of COVID-19 as it complements other preventive measures like masks and social distancing by adding an extra layer of defense against the virus.

    Crucial in preventing the

    spread of the COVID-19 virus


    Removal of Viruses:

    •Proper handwashing with soap


    and water helps remove viruses,
    including the SARS-CoV-2 virus
    responsible for COVID-19, from
    your hands.
    Breaks the Chain of
    Transmission:
    •Touching surfaces contaminated with
    the virus and then touching your face
    can lead to infection. Regular
    handwashing interrupts this
    transmission chain by eliminating the
    virus from your hands.
    Protects Yourself and Others:

    •By practicing good hand hygiene,


    you reduce the risk of getting
    infected and, at the same time,
    protect others by minimizing the
    potential for virus transmission.
    Covers Gaps in Other Preventive
    Measures:
    •Handwashing complements
    other preventive measures like
    wearing masks and social
    distancing. It adds an extra layer
    of defense against the virus.
    Remember to wash your hands
    thoroughly for at least 20 seconds,
    covering all surfaces, including
    between your fingers and under your
    nails. If soap and water are not
    available, using an alcohol-based hand
    sanitizer can be an alternative.
