Abstract

Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. This week is National Handwashing Awareness Week. Keeping our hands clean is one of the most important steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. That’s according to Jill DeBoer, associate director of the University of Minnesota Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy. <Clip: “According to the CDC, some viruses…or our desks in the workplace.”> As a result, DeBoer says it’s important to wash our hands often and thoroughly. <clip: “It’s important not only that we increase the time…way out, use a paper towel to protect your hands.”> With another Public Health Moment, I’m John Finnegan.
