WASH THOSE HANDS................IT'S EASY WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT!
Handing washing is the #1 way to stop the spread of germs........
Proper Hand-Washing Techniques
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control offers these instructions for proper hand-washing:
· Use soap and running water.
· Rub your hands vigorously as you wash them (10-15 seconds, soap should be bubbly).
· Wash all surfaces, including the backs of hands, between fingers, and under fingernails.
· Rinse well and leave the water running until after drying hands.
· Dry your hands with a paper towel.
· Turn off the water using the paper towel.
