Bradley Corp. emphasizes importance of handwashing for Global Handwashing Day
Each year on October 15, Global Handwashing Day advocates for how a simple and inexpensive action – handwashing with soap and water – can stop the spread of colds, flus and other infectious diseases. This year, due to the coronavirus, the international day has taken on new-found prominence.
Health experts like the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have long shared the health benefits of handwashing with soap and water to guard against disease-causing organisms. During this pandemic, proper hand hygiene – along with other measures like social distancing and mask wearing – can’t be emphasized enough in a high-touch world.
