How do most infectious diseases spread?

Based on information from International Scientific Forum on Home Hygiene (IFH), the hands are one of the most frequent ways for many types of infections to spread, as they come into direct contact with possible pathogen entry points (mouth, nose, conjunctiva of the eyes). Therefore, implementing proper hand hygiene is considered the easiest way to help reduce infections. Some infections can spread through the air, which is why it is important to sneeze or cough into your elbow or sleeve.

What is the proper way to practice hand hygiene?

Use soap and water, particularly when hands are visibly dirty. Wash hands with soap and water for 15 to 20 seconds, making sure to get between fingers and underneath fingernails. When soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Apply enough product to thoroughly wet hands, then rub hands together briskly until dry.
