COVID-19 Defense

Handwashing is one of the best ways to protect yourself and your family from getting sick. Follow these five steps to wash your hands the right way:
1. Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap.
2. Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.
3. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice.
4. Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.
5. Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.
*Soap and water not available? Use hand sanitizer as plan B.
