Proper Hand Hygiene

3 May 2023

Hand hygiene is the single most important measure of reducing the spread of diseases. Members of the public are advised to clean hands with liquid soap and water when they are visibly soiled or likely contaminated with blood and body fluid. When hands are not visibly soiled, could be cleaned them with 70-80% alcohol-based handrub. According to the World Health Organization’s recommendation, most alcohol-based handrubs contain either ethanol, isopropanol or n-propanol, or a combination of two of these products.
