October 15 marks Global Handwashing Day. Keeping our hands clean has never been more important than during a global pandemic.

Washing hands with soap and water can “prevent 1 in 3 people from getting sick with diarrhea and 1 in 5 people from getting a respiratory illness,” said Vincent Hill, chief of the Waterborne Disease Prevention Branch of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
