Hand washing is crucial for preventing the spread of germs and infections. Washing hands before and after meal preparation (A), after using the bathroom and sneezing (B), between touching different people (C), and before and after touching surfaces a sick person has touched (E) are all recommended practices to maintain hygiene and health. Using antibacterial gel first then soap and water (D) is not a standard recommendation; washing hands with soap and water alone is effective, and if soap and water are not available, an alcohol-based hand sanitizer can be used.
