On March 13, WHO posted a clip featuring its director-general washing his hands as he demonstrates the accurate way to wash hands.
Along with 2-minute long step by step guide, the global health organisation wrote that there were simple things like washing hands with soap that could help people protect themselves. It then launched the #SafeHandschallenge prompting users to share their handwashing videos.
There are simple things we each must do to protect ourselves from #COVID19, including 👐 washing with 🧼 & 💦 or alcohol-based rub.
