For decades, study after study found that healthcare workers do not practice proper hand hygiene. COVID-19 imay change that, according to Deborah Chung, the healthcare marketing manager for Essity North America, in an article on the Infection Control Today website.
“ Even before COVID-19 there was a study done where eight out of 10 healthcare workers wanted to receive better hand hygiene training,” Chung said.
“And proper hand hygiene training is the number one way to reduce the spread of illnesses and viruses including COVID-19.”
The World Health Organization’s recommendations for hand hygiene is before and after touching the patient, before and after cleaning a procedure and after bodily fluid exposure. That performance of hand hygiene can incorporate sanitizing or hand washing.
