Health Observance
National Hand Washing Awareness has occurred during the first full week of December each year since 1999. Practicing the Four Principles of Hand Awareness can help everyone to remain healthy, in spite of the flu scares. It is the Best way to prevent epidemics or pandemics:
1. Wash your hands when thay are dirty and before eating
2. Do not cough into your hands
3. Do not sneeze into your hands
4. Above all, do not put your fingers into your eyes, nose, or mouth!
Direct contamination of your mucus membranes is how infectious disease enters your body. It is not wafting through the ventilation system in the building. Let's work together to minimize the fear factor of infectious disease pandemics or seasonal illness. Keep Washing!
