“Today is Global Handwashing Day, which highlights the importance of using soap to wash your hands,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “The effectiveness of using soap when handwashing to prevent diseases and save lives cannot be understated. The COVID-19 pandemic reminds us that good hand hygiene is a fundamental component to good overall health. I ask all county residents to continue being diligent with their handwashing along with other preventative efforts to control the spread of the virus.”

Diane Oldenburg, senior public health educator with the Oswego County Health Department added, “Handwashing is a frontline defense against the spread of disease. It only takes 20 seconds to wash infection-causing germs away before they get a chance to infect you, and before you touch surfaces that could help spread the germs to other people. It is a simple step that can help prevent the spread of diseases like the coronavirus and influenza. Join us in fighting the spread of COVID-19 and other diseases by remembering to wash your hands frequently.”
