Handwashing Helps Some People Not Caught Cold or COVID Despite Being Exposed

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

Remember that many types of bacteria and viruses, including the new coronavirus (COVID-19), can live on your hands and enter your body when you touch your eyes, nose or mouth, or the food you eat. Washing your hands regularly with soap and water is one of the most effective ways to remove these germs and avoid getting sick. But how does it work? How Soap Gets Rid of Germs Soap doesn’t kill germs on our hands; it breaks them up and removes them. Here’s how: It’s common for us to have oil or grease on our hands from everyday activities. When our hands are dirty, germs can stick to that oil or grease. Using water alone to clean your hands doesn’t work because water and oil don’t mix (as you know from your bottle of Italian salad dressing). The grease and germs remain stuck on your hands. “Soap is the magic elixir that helps combine water and oil, breaking down the germs.”
