Proper handwashing with soap is an effective way to remove germs and prevent infections as it stops the spread of germs by avoiding transmission through contact.
When people touch their eyes, nose, or mouth without washing their hands, they are at risk of bacteria entering their body and causing illness.
Likewise, when unwashed hands come into contact with food and drinks during preparation or consumption, germs can multiply in certain environments, leading to further contamination. Moreover, any objects that come in contact with unclean hands can lead to another person’s exposure to germs.
