Hand washing

[knitter]

Just watched BBC item on coronavirus/ covid19 and how hand washing can help limit .

There was a demonstration on good hand washing technique....you can see similar on line.

I must admit my hand washing practice often fall short.

In public places I try and use my elbow or a paper towel when opening doors after washing hands.

Try not to touch face or rub eyes ....I often do that without thinking.

Some good advice on hand washing today.

I saw this too! The advice also recommended using hand dryers which have been proven not to be the best way of hand drying. Unfortunately, you often don’t get the option of paper towels in many public loos anymore.

I hadn’t thought about how wearing rings may also not be a good idea in hand hygiene.

They say hand dryers are worse for germs and blowing them everywhere.

Lots of things are common sense really but you’ll always get those that don’t practice good hand hygiene therefore putting others at risk.

Conflicting information can be confusing but we just try and do our best. I make sure the grandkids wash their hands well too.

Take care xxxx

I wash my hands, dry them and then put on gloves to open the toilet door.
