Hand hygiene is one of the most effective measures to prevent the spread of infections. It involves:
Wet hands with water. Apply enough soap to cover all hand surfaces. Rub hands palm to palm and scrub all parts, including the back of hands, between fingers, and under nails. Rinse hands thoroughly with water. Dry hands with a single-use towel. Use the towel to turn off the faucet to avoid recontamination.
