Winter Handwashing Reminder🧼✨

Winter Handwashing Reminder🧼✨

Cold and flu season is here!

A quick reminder that handwashing remains one of the MOST effective ways to prevent illness.

Wash for 20 seconds (sing the ABC's or Happy Birthday twice) with warm water and soap — especially after being out in public, before meals, and after coughing or sneezing.
