Global Handwashing Day - 2022

Handwashing has been touted as highly important for decades.  However, during the recent COVID pandemic, handwashing became even more critical.  

In some countries, a lack of water, poor hygiene, limited access to health care facilities and a general lack of knowledge regarding health and hygiene increases the likelihood of spreading disease.  In some places, handwashing can even be considered unnecessary.  

Thus, every October 15, a worldwide effort to get people to wash their hands is highlighted and recognized as Global Handwashing Day.  This year that falls on Saturday.  To learn more and to see what you can do to help implement this important procedure, check out this link and any other related links you might find online.  

Happy handwashing!!
