Good Hand Hygiene helps reduce the transmission of viruses

Good hand hygiene practices will help reduce the transmission of all viruses, including the current Swine Flu pandemic.

Here are some steps that you can take:

  • Always cough or sneeze into a clean tissue, then dispose of carefully after one use. Wash your hands immediately with soap and warm water or alternatively use a product from the Cuticura Hand Hygiene Range.
  • Maintaining good hand hygiene practices can prevent the spread of the virus and can help you from catching the virus. Regular use of a product from the Cuticura Hand Hygiene range helps prevent the spread of germs to your hands from surfaces like shopping trolleys, door knobs, workstations, on public transport and even when handling money. 
  • Always wash your hands with soap and hot water after using the bathroom, before eating or touching food, or after you visit a sick friend or relative.
  • Children contract germs quickly because they touch all kinds of surfaces. Encouraging good hand hygiene practices in children can help prevent them from contracting germs. Cuticura’s Kids Hand Hygiene Foamers, which are alcohol-free, and Cuticura's Kids individually wrapped Hand Wipes, are both ideal to help keep your childrens' hands hygienically clean without the need for soap and water.
  • Cleaning hard surfaces frequently, such as tables and door handles, can also help prevent the spread of germs.
