During the COVID-19 pandemic, you should also clean your hands:

• After being in a public place and touching an item or surface that others might frequently touch, such as door handles, tables, gas pumps, shopping carts, electronic cash registers or screens, etc. .

Here are the steps for hand washing:

1. get wet hands with clean running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap and lather your hands.
2. rub hands with soap until foamy. Rub the foam on the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your fingernails.
3. scrub up hands for at least 20 seconds. Do you need something to measure time? Hum the “Happy Birthday” song twice from beginning to end.
4. rinse thoroughly your hands under clean running water.
5. dry themwith a clean towel or in the air.

WEAR A MASK:

Another measure that helps protect you and the people around you is the use of a mask in public spaces. The mask must:
