“Germs and viruses can easily be contacted from other people or surfaces when you touch your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.” Urhoghide-Edigin said it can also spread through blowing of nose, coughing or sneezing into hands and then touch other people’s hands or common objects. “You can help yourself and your loved ones to stay healthy by washing your hands often, especially during these key times when you are likely to get and spread germs.”
She said washing of hands with soap and water is the best way to get rid of germs and viruses. She emphasised that washing of hands has come to stay and must be part of our way of life even in post COVID-19.
