Wash Hands Reminder

Washing your hands frequently and thoroughly can help you get rid of bacteria and keep healthy.

That's why the app reminds you to wash your hands. You can do that with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub. These two kill viruses that may be on your hands.

You can help yourself, and your loved ones stay healthy by washing your hands often, especially during these critical times when we are all so likely to get and spread germs:

Before, during, and after preparing food

Before eating food

Before and after caring for someone at home who is sick with vomiting or diarrhea

Before and after treating a cut or wound

After using the toilet

After changing diapers or cleaning up a child who has used the toilet

After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
