Soap and water is still the best way to clean your hands. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.


Wash hands with warm or cold water. Lather soap to get it on the backs of hands, between fingers and under finger nails before rinsing off.

If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60 per cent alcohol.
