National Handwashing Awareness Week is celebrated every year from December 1-7 with worldwide activities, events, and advocacy campaigns. The message is simple: washing hands with soap and clean running water is one of the simplest ways to remove germs from hands, prevent diseases, avoid spreading germs to others, and save lives. In 2020, National Handwashing Week is more significant than ever as the World Health Organization (WHO) says handwashing with soap remains the best defense against the novel coronavirus.

SARS-CoV-2 is spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes and the infectious droplets land on another person or a frequently touched object or surface. The virus can also get transmitted through handshakes if the person carrying the virus sneezes or coughs into their hand. Washing hands with soap kills the virus.
OSI’s comprehensive article discusses various aspects of hand hygiene: How Handwashing helps reduce Risk of Disease, Impact of Hand Hygiene on Infectious Disease Risk, Guidance for Effective Handwashing (when and how to wash your hands) and Hand Hygiene Compliance in Healthcare Settings.
