🤠 We've GONE COUNTRY for day 4️⃣ of National Handwashing Awareness Week. Get down and boot, scootin' boogie by singing the chorus of these songs 2x times, or for at least 20 seconds, while scrub-a-dub-dubbing with soap and water to effectively combat germs.
🎵 🎶 These fun playlists are apart of a week-long initiative by Infirmary Health to help make handwashing fun again!! Hand washing is the best way to remove germs, avoid getting sick and prevent the spread of germs to others. This is incredibly important while we continue to work TOGETHER to slow the spread of COVID-19.
The CDC recommends that you wash your hands BEFORE and AFTER:
🔸 Touching your eyes, nose or mouth
🔸 Touching your mask
🔸 Entering and leaving a public place
🔸 Touching an item or surface that may be frequently touched by other people, such as door handles, tables, gas pumps, shopping carts or electronic cashier registers/screens
