Hand Hygiene

Today the Public Health nurses came to talk to us about hand hygiene.

When to wash your hands
- After coughing and sneezing
- After playing or working outside
- Before preparing or eating food
- After using the bathroom
- After playing with animals

They explained how to wash our hands
1. Wet your hands
2. Put soap on your hands
3. Wash your hands - rub your hands for 30 secs which is like singing happy birthday twice.
4. Rub your hands together, between your fingers, the backs of your hands, your thumbs and your wrists

5. Rinse the soap off
6. Dry your hands

They showed us how easy it is to spread germs by putting glitter and hand sanitizer on our hands. Then we had to shake hands. You could see the glitter on people's hands, faces, the floor, in their hair. It was crazy how far that it spread.
