Effective protection against infectious diseases
Globalization fosters the spread of dangerous pathogens, as we have now seen with the rapid spreading of the coronavirus. Careful hand hygiene helps protect against recurring viral diseases; almost all pathogenic germs can be removed by washing your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds and drying them thoroughly. The use of hand disinfectants provides added protection.
Here's how to wash hands properly:
- Wet your hands with running water
- Lather your hands thoroughly with soap.
- Don't forget to rub the soap in on the backs of your hands, on your wrists and between your fingers.
- Rinse your hands well under running water.
- Dry your hands carefully, also between the fingers, using a fresh portion of cloth towel or paper.
What else can you do to protect yourself?
Besides washing your hands regularly with soap and water, the following measures will help you protect against infectious diseases:
1. Be careful not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your hands.
Viruses enter our mucous membranes via our hands and thus into the body. Following these instructions reduces the likelihood of infection.
2. Precautions when coughing and sneezing.
If you are ill you should keep at least one metre distance from other people and face away from them when coughing and sneezing. If possible, cough or sneeze into a disposable handkerchief, which you should then dispose of directly. Don't forget to wash your hands after that.
3. Hand disinfection − protect yourself and others.
If you have a lot of contact with other people, hand disinfection can also be advisable. Disinfect your hands both when entering and leaving a hospital or other care facility. By doing so you avoid carrying in undesirable "gifts" that travel unnoticed on your hands.
