Doctors agree: Washing you hands is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of spreading disease.
Follow these steps

- Lather your hands. Don't forget the backs of your hands, between your fingers and under your nails.
- Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. (Hum the "Happy Birthday" song from beginning to end twice.)
- Rinse your hands well under clean running water.
- Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.
- If you don't have access to soap and water, use hand sanitizer and rub for at least 20 seconds.
