GLOBAL HAND HYGIENE DAY – WHY IT’S MORE IMPORTANT NOWE THAT EVER? HOW DO WE KEEP OUR COMMUNITIES SAFE

Yesterday was Global Handwashing Day which is an international handwashing promotion campaign to motivate and mobilize people around the world to improve their handwashing habits. Washing hands at critical points during the day and washing with soap are both important. The main goal of the Global Hand Hygiene Day campaign is to recognize that handwashing is one of the most effective actions you can take to reduce the spread of pathogens and prevent infections, including the COVID-19 virus.GUEST: Janine Simon Meyer - Risk Communication and Community Engagement consultant with UNICEF South Africa.
