A series of images have surfaced on the internet, highlighting the importance of proper hand-washing, in light of the spread of the Corona virus. As the emerging virus, known as Covid 19, continues to spread throughout the world, health organizations are urging people to take essential preventive measures to reduce the spread of deadly disease, including hand washing.
Although it may seem clear, a series of UV images have appeared on the Internet to demonstrate a difference between hand washing and washing them well.
Earlier this week, American actress Kristen Bell published a collage of six collage photos on her Instagram account, showing the difference between the hands that were not washed compared to those that were washed with soap and water for 30 seconds.
Commenting on the pictures, Bill said, "My mom sent me a comparison of washing hands under UV radiation. To all of you, 30 seconds with soap."
Each of the six images showed how many bacteria the woman had at hand, using ultraviolet radiation and a cream called Glo-Germ - a mineral oil that sticks to germs, and is visible only under UV light.
In this regard, someone commented, "I can only imagine how my five-year-old's hands would look under this light." Another added, "I will definitely show it to my children, and I hope it helps."
The National Health Service recommends washing hands for at least 20 seconds, or enough time to repeat the song "Happy Birthday" twice.
People are advised to wet hands with water before using enough soap to cover their hands and rub them together.
The correct method of washing includes using one hand to rub the back of the other, and cleaning between fingers before rubbing the back of the fingers on the palm of the hands.
The National Health Service also recommends washing hands after using the toilet, before and after eating uncooked food, before eating or handling food, and after blowing nose, sneezing or coughing.
