Global Handwashing Day: Here’s why sustaining hand hygiene practices is so important in post-Covid era

Washing hands is very important to maintain general hygiene but very often most of us do not do it. The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to practice it every day. Two years on, experts highlight why people still need to do it especially because of the diseases that come because of dirty hands

The Covid-19 pandemic helped us realise the importance of washing our hands. It is an act that has been taught to us as children but many of us still take it for granted due to sheer laziness or lack of importance for personal hygiene. Every year, October 15 is celebrated as World Handwashing Day to raise awareness about the simple act of washing one's hands. Even though the act may seem a very normal practice in our daily lives, experts say it helps us to avoid getting infected with diseases and keeps us safe at all times.
