The world is uncertain on the fate of COVID-19, everyone is advice to do their fair share of precautionary measures amidst the crisis of Novel Corona Virus. The WHO posted an advice on proper handwashing to avoid contagious diseases. Did anyone notice on how you wash your hands-on daily basis…or you just simply damp it with soap, flush it with water then “done”. This habit was manifested with the first case of COVID-19 when feces of bat came in contact to the mouth of the first patient of Novel Corona Virus then spread the disease after.

As per research, many countries are not aware of proper way of washing hands or using soap for cleaning their hands. Around 38.7% households use soap to clean their hands while the rest are simply using water.

According to study, there are 6 critical times that you should wash your hands-on daily basis to avoid the fecal-oral transmission:

After defecation
After you sneeze or cough into your hands
After cleaning a child’s bottom
Before feeding a child
Before eating food or taking medicines
Before preparing food or handling raw meat, fish, or poultry

These are the steps of proper handwashing from WordPress.Com (About Hand Washing) that can benefit all OFWs and families out there. Please check the illustration for easy reference:

Begin by wetting your hands
Apply liquid soap on to your hands
Rub you hands together using friction at least 20 seconds.
Make sure as you scrub, you interlace your fingers downward.
Wash all surfaces of your hands and wrists
Dry hands on clean paper towels
Discard paper towels into trash container
Do not re-contaminate your hands at any point by touching the faucet or sink during after the process.

These are just the simple steps on washing hands but has more benefits into your health and other people as well. It is a proper way of eradicating bacteria in your working environment that causes contagious diseases such as eye infection and other intestinal problems. You can use sanitizer as alternative, but it is still the best way to wash hands with adherence to procedure above.
