“Handwashing is one of the best ways to protect yourself and your family from getting sick. We must inculcate this in young children to stay healthy especially during these key times”, says Dr. Gaurav Nigam.

Kids handwashing and prevention from Covid

Certain tips in maintaining proper hygiene can help reduce the risk of infection or spreading the infection to others:

  • wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the washroom and when preparing food.
  • cough or sneeze into a tissue or the bend of your arm, not your hand.
  • avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
  • clean the following high-touch surfaces frequently with regular household cleaners or diluted bleach:
    • toys, toilets, phones, electronics, door handles, bedside tables, television remotes.
  • You can use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available. Sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of germs on hands in many situations. However,
  • Sanitizers do not get rid of all types of germs.
  • Hand sanitizers may not be as effective when hands are visibly dirty or greasy.
  • Hand sanitizers might not remove harmful chemicals from hands like pesticides and heavy metals.
