Relation

2. What Is Personal Hygiene
Hand washing=good hand hygiene can significantly reduce the
spread of harmful bacteria and other germs that can lead to
diarrhea, vomiting and other harmful infection.
Bathing=do shower every day using warm water and soap. You
could consider showering twice a day when the weather is warm.
Hygiene clothes=germs and dirt can cling to your clothes too. Wash
the clothes you wear after each use so that these germs and
impurities are removed.

3. What is Covid19
Clean regularly= cleaning with a house cleaner that contains soap or detergent reduces the
amount of germs on surface and decreases risk of infection from surface.
Cleaning the workplace=You may need to increase how often and how thoroughly you
normally clean your workplace, as well as cleaning surfaces that you do not normally clean.
Handwashing and using hand sanitizer=Consider using signs and posters to help your workers
practise good handwashing technique and to remind them to catch coughs and sneezes in a
tissue or the crook of their arm and avoid touching their faces.

During this crisis, hand hygiene, along with other infection control activities, has received much
attention, not only because it is a priority but also because HCWs are more concerned about
their own exposure to COVID-19. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, hand hygiene was something
hospitals struggled with.
