Having clean hands is important because people often use their hands to touch their eyes, noses and mouths. Touching these areas gives germs (细菌) the chance to go into the body.

“Washing hands is an important lifetime habit for staying healthy,” doctors say. Cleaning your hands is one of the best and also the easiest ways to protect yourself from getting sick. But it takes more than just placing your hands under running water for a few seconds.

How can you make sure you are washing your hands correctly? Here are five easy steps you can take to wash your hands.

● Wet your hands with warm water.

● Lather up with soap. Be sure to lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.

● Rub your hands for at least 20 seconds-about the time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” song twice.

● Wash your hands well under warm, running water.

● Dry your hands with a clean towel.

You should always wash your hands before meals after eating, after using the toilet, after returning home, after touching animals ...

We hope you can have the habit of hand washing.
