    • Effective handwashing is an important


    method of controlling the spread of
    infections, especially those that can cause
    diarrhoea and vomiting.

    before eating and handling food. Use warm
    running water and a mild, preferably liquid
    soap. Sinks and toilets must be kept clean.

    lather appears and continue for at least 15
    seconds ensuring that all surfaces are
    covered.

    • Rinse hands under warm running water and


    dry hands with a hand dryer or clean towel
