“”Handwashing is one of the best ways to protect yourself and your family from getting sick. Washing hands can keep you healthy and prevent the spread of respiratory and diarrheal infections. Germs can spread from person to person or from surfaces to people when you:
-Touch your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
-Prepare or eat food and drinks with unwashed hands
-Touch surfaces or objects that have germs on them
-Blow your nose, cough, or sneeze into hands and then touch other people’s hands or common objects.”
