Why is Hand Hygiene So Important?The most common way germs are spread is by peoples hands. Germs are often harmless but they can also cause illness such as colds, flu and tummy bugs.Proper hand washing with soap and warm water is the single most important thing you can do to help reduce the spread of infections and help protect you, your family and those around you.
