In What Ways Do Microbes Spread?

Washing hands is the first precaution to be taken to prevent diseases and to stop the spread of germs and viruses. Germs can be spread by other people or from surfaces that people come into contact with:

• People often touch their eyes, nose and mouth without realizing it. Viruses can also enter the body through the eyes, nose and mouth and make us sick.
   
• Consuming foods and beverages prepared with unwashed hands also greatly increases the risk of exposure to germs.
   
• Likewise, touching surfaces and objects provides an environment for the spread of germs.
   
• Touching common objects after coughing or sneezing invites germs.

How Should Hands Be Washed?

It is worth remembering that it is necessary to wash hands for at least twenty seconds in order to get rid of germs in the most effective way. The steps for hand washing are as follows:

1. The faucet is turned on and hands are wetted with clean water. Then the tap is turned off and soap is used.
    
2. Hands are washed by rubbing well with soap. The back of the hands, between the fingers, palms and under the nails are foamed.
    
3. The faucet is turned back on and the hands are thoroughly rinsed under water.
    
4. Finally, hands are dried with a clean towel.
