🧼 National Handwashing Awareness Week
Flu season is in full swing, and germs are everywhere. The good news? You can protect yourself and those around you with one simple habit: washing your hands!
Here are some tips to make your handwashing count:
✅ Wash for at least 20 seconds — sing “Happy Birthday” twice if you need a timer!
✅ Use soap and clean running water — scrub all surfaces: palms, backs of hands, between fingers, and under nails.
✅ Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean towel — germs love damp hands!
✅ Use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol when soap and water aren’t available.
