How to wash your hands
Washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds can drastically reduce your risk for illness, according to the CDC. Good hand-washing hygiene is especially important after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
