Hands Of Healthcare Workers. Hand Washing Interrupts The Transmission And Should
Be Done Before And After All Contact With Patients, Regardless Of The Diagnosis.

Warm Water To Remove Dirt And Debris From The Skin Surface. When No Visible Dirt
Is Present, An Alcohol-Based Rub Should Be Applied And Allowed To Dry For 10 To
15 Seconds.
