Clean Hands Saves Lives
When you come to a hospital, hand cleaning is your job too. Clean hands protect lives.
Think about the times that you would clean your hands at home such as:
- Before and after eating
- After using the washroom
- After sneezing or coughing
Make sure you clean your hands at these times and even more when you are in the hospital.
