Clean hands save lives! National Handwashing Awareness Week is a reminder of the simple yet powerful habit of washing hands to prevent illness and spread germs.

Handwashing Basics:

  • Scrub fronts, backs, between fingers, and under nails.
  • Always wash your hands before eating, after using the restroom, and after coughing or sneezing.
