Hand Washing or Hand Sanitiser Instructions

How to wash your hands

Wash often. Use soap. 20 seconds. Then dry. This kills germs and COVID-19 by bursting its protective bubble.

• Wet hands with running water (turn the tap off)
• Apply enough soap to cover wet hands.
• Rub all surfaces of the hands — including the back of hands, between fingers and under nails — for at least 20 seconds.
• Rinse thoroughly with running water.
• Dry hands with a clean cloth, single-use towel or air dry. Drying your hands is as important as washing your hands.

Duration of this entire procedure (40 to 60 seconds - or long enough to sing Happy Birthday twice)
