School is back in session: A friendly reminder about hand hygiene As students head back to school, your friends at Lee Health want to remind everyone that proper hand hygiene is one of the simplest and most effective ways to help prevent the spread of illness. Knowing when and how to wash your hands can help protect both you and those around you. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. You should also wash your hands after preparing food, before and after treating a cut or wound, after touching animals or their food or waste, and after handling garbage. These are just some of the key times when good hand hygiene can help reduce the spread of germs. Proper technique is just as important as washing your hands regularly. The CDC recommends following these five simple steps: - Wet your hands with clean, running water and apply soap. - Rub your hands together to create a lather, making sure to scrub the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails. - Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. - Rinse thoroughly under clean, running water. - Dry your hands with a clean towel and use the towel to turn off the faucet When soap and water aren’t available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol. Hand sanitizer can quickly reduce the number of germs on your hands, though it is less effective when hands are visibly dirty or greasy. To use hand sanitizer correctly: - Apply the sanitizer to the palm of one hand. - Rub your hands together. - Continue rubbing the sanitizer over all surfaces of your hands and fingers until your hands are completely dry. In addition to washing your hands regularly, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, as germs can spread easily from surfaces to your body. If you are feeling sick, stay home to help prevent the spread of illness to others.
