The main goal of the Global Hand Hygiene Day campaign this year is to recognize that handwashing is one of the most effective actions you can take to reduce the spread of pathogens and prevent infections, including the COVID-19 virus. Not only Health workers, also community members alike can play a role in preventing infections by practicing regular, correct and frequent handwashing.
As part of the 2020 campaign, WHO and partners aim to:
- Make hand hygiene a global priority
- Inspire hand hygiene and behavior change
- Engage with health care workers in their role in clean care and the prevention of infections.
Very sharp image, makes me think of a joke I read “ they tell us to wash our hands every time of the day , but when will we be authorized to wash the rest of our body ?”
