Reason why washing one’s hands often may be the least effective

• When you stay home, the germs in your body are kept in your own room or home only.
• Therefore, no one at school or at work has contact with your germs.
• It is also easier to clean your home of the germs than a public place.

• Some of your germs are still sent into the air when you talk and breathe.
• Covering your mouth when you cough at the school or workplace may be less effective than staying at home.

• Washing your hands after every cough or sneeze may be the least effective way to keep other people healthy.
• Even with a portable hand sanitizer, it may not be possible to clean your hands that many times in a day and you may also be distracted a lot in doing so.
