Happy Global Handwashing Day! It’s the perfect time to reinforce the importance of hand hygiene. Keeping your hands clean is one of the easiest and most effective ways to stop the spread of germs. This observance day is part of an international handwashing promotion campaign to help motivate people to improve handwashing habits. The theme for this year is, “Our Future is at Hand – Let’s Move Forward Together.”
