Keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Many diseases and conditions are spread by not washing hands with soap and clean, running water. CDC recommends cleaning hands in a specific way to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. The guidance for effective handwashing and use of hand sanitizer was developed based on data from a number of studies.
So, now that the cold weather and flu season are upon us, it is more important than ever to wash your hands to prevent the spread of germs. It takes everyone being vigilant to prevent as much sharing of germs as we can! #PCSCweCARE
