Handwashing

Which do you think can keep you safe from coronavirus infections like the COVID-19, masks or hand washing?

After much research, I realise that both measures should be used together, but regular hand washing is a much more crucial and effective method to prevent infections if you are a healthy person. However, most people don’t wash their hands properly. With this comic, I hope it will be easier to explain to kids the three big areas that you should watch out for when you wash your hands! The handwashing steps are taken from WHO guidelines.

This is the first of a series on the importance of personal hygiene in combating the novel coronavirus – done in partnership with Temasek. You can download them here, or look for a translation.
