Last minute holiday shopping may mean you’re touching more things than usual. Don’t forget to wash your hands regularly!

One of the best things you can do to reduce your chances of getting or spreading germs like COVID-19 is washing your hands regularly!

Viruses can live on your hands for up to 5 minutes.
