Hand Hygiene
Washing your hands is one of the primary aspect of hygiene for hand and is something that we all can do to stop infection from spreading. When you are entering the nursery, clean your hands thoroughly using some soap as well as water that are in the dispenser in the sink. Clean all of your hands, including the front and back, as well as between your thumbs and fingers. Make sure that your fingers and the nail bed are spotless. Cleanse your hands a bit above your wrists and then point your hands downwards towards the sink, so that bacteria can drain away into the water. After you begin cleaning your hands keep going for minimum 15 minutes. Cleanse your hands thoroughly as well. Dry your hands thoroughly.
Always wash your hands using alcohol-based hand rubs (or soap, water)
