Don’t forget your fingertips! New study shows the correct way of washing hands

Hand hygiene is crucial for preventing the spread of infections, especially
during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, a new study has found that
many people are not washing their hands properly, particularly their
fingertips.
The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Leeds in the UK,
found that people tend to neglect their fingertips when washing their
hands, even though fingertips are a common site for infection transmission.
The study also found that people tend to wash their hands too quickly, and
do not use enough soap or water.
To wash your hands effectively, wet your hands with clean water, lather
with soap, and rub your hands together for at least 20 seconds. Make sure
to clean all surfaces, including the backs of your hands, between your
fingers, and under your nails. And don’t forget to wash your fingertips
thoroughly, as they are the most exposed parts of your hands.
By following these simple steps, you can protect yourself and others from
harmful germs and infections. So, the next time you wash your hands,
remember to give your fingertips some extra attention!
