Global Handwashing Day

Today is Global Handwashing Day. 

It is about raising awareness on maintaining personal hygiene by handwashing.

We are being reminded of the importance of handwashing especially this period of the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Well handwashing isn't only important during a health crisis but it should be our norm.

This year the theme is "Our Future Is At Hand-Let's Move ForwardTogether"

The prime benefit of handwashing is that it eliminates germs. Most times our hands touch our eyes, nose, mouth and face in general.  We handle foods with our hands, hence it is important to keep those hands clean by constantly washing them with soap and running water.

When should we wash our hands?

📌After using the loo

📌After changing diapers or cleaning up a kid that used the loo

📌When you arrive home

📌Before and after eating 

📌Before and after removing or putting on your contact lenses

📌Before during and after prepping food

📌After blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing 

📌After handling garbage 

📌Before and after treating acut or wound 

📌Before and after caring for a sick person (especially if they throw-up or stool)

📌After touching animals, their feed or wastes

Make it a habit to wash your hands often
