Things not to do

It is not enough to use sanitizer only on the upper part of the hands. Do not use hand sanitizer on greasy or dirty hands.  Do not assume that all anti-bacterial wipes will kill bacteria. It is best to use a hand wash or hand sanitizer. But under no circumstances should its use be in name only. Also do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.

Attention

When applying the hand sanitizer, rub your hands thoroughly and make sure it covers the entire area of ​​your hands and fingers.  Continue rubbing for 30 to 60 seconds or until your hands absorb it.
