Wash your hands. A lot.
It’s advice that never gets old and yet still probably isn’t followed enough. WHO has specified washing hands as one of the most important tactics for avoiding the spread of disease – your hands are constantly moving microorganisms around from one thing to another, making them a risky tool in all f&b settings.
– Wash hands with warm running water, including your wrists, for at least 20 seconds.
– Dry them well with a clean, dry towel – preferably a paper towel, says WHO.
– Hands need to be washed after handling rubbish, going to the toilet, smoking, using chemicals or cleaning products, playing with cute dogs, handling raw food, sneezing, blowing your nose, coughing and so on. When in doubt, wash ‘em.
– Check regularly to make sure there’s soap and paper towels in the toilets.
