Keep Your Hands Clean

The public is more concerned with handwashing than at any other time in modern history. You need to constantly wash your hands whether you are leaving the restroom, using the ATM, or just touching a public surface.

You need to lather your hands up with soap and scrub them for at least 20 seconds. Then, you rinse and dry them. You can sing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” to yourself two times as you wash your hands. If you do that, you know you washed your hands enough.

Hand sanitizer is okay if there is no soap. Just make sure you rub it into your hands until it fully absorbs into your skin.
