Stop the germs, stay healthy, WASH YOUR HANDS! Keeping our hands clean is one of the most important things we can do to stop the spread of germs and stay healthy, especially in Jakarta. Many germs that cause diarrhea and respiratory infections can be spread by not washing our hands with soap and clean, running water and this is because: People frequently touch their eyes, nose, and mouth without even realizing it. Germs can get into

the body through the eyes, nose and mouth and make us sick. Germs from unwashed hands can get into foods and drinks during its preparation. Germs can

multiply in some types of foods or drinks, under certain conditions, and make people sick. Germs from unwashed hands can be transferred to other objects, like handrails, door handles,

keyboards, table tops, or toys, and then transferred to another person’s hands. Are you paying attention to how you are washing your hands? Clean running water should be used with soap. Soap lifts dirt and microbes from the skin. Be sure to lather the backs of your hands, a palm length below the wrist, between the fingers and under the nails. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds (sing the Happy Birthday song twice). The temperature of the water does not matter. It is important that you thoroughly dry your hands after rinsing. While soap and water is the most effective way of reducing microbes on your skin, hand sanitizers can also be used as they do eliminate some types of germs. The hand sanitizer should contain at least 60% alcohol and should be rubbed into the skin until your hands are dry (do not rub off excess). Common brands include Dettol® and Purell®.

So remember…wash your hands frequently and remind your family members to do the same! Wash before and after food preparation, before meals, after using the restroom, after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing and after any other time in which you think you touched a frequently used or contaminated surface. Always carry an alcohol based hand sanitizer in the event where water and soap are not readily available.
