Practise personal care and hygiene

We are encouraged to always practise self-care and hygiene in everyday life, as many of the surfaces we touch are exposed to bacteria or viruses that can cause diseases.

Bacteria or viruses can be transferred through handshaking, doorknobs, pipes, utensils, toilet tools and many more.

Hands can act as the transfer agent when touching the face, especially eyes, nose or mouth.

Hand washing is a crucial step to prevent the spread of disease.
