The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is emphasizing the importance of handwashing in preventing respiratory illnesses such as flu and COVID-19. The Wisconsin Department of Health Service Facebook post highlighted proper handwashing techniques in a recent social media post, recommending washing hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm water.
The department is also promoting awareness through partnerships with local college sports teams to reach a wider audience. Handwashing is presented as a key preventive measure that complements vaccination and other public health strategies.
Additional guidance and resources on hand hygiene are available on the Wisconsin Department of Health Services’ website.
