Hi, this is Anishka. So recently you've probably heard about the coronavirus and staying healthy, and one of the recommendations is that we wash our hands often and that we try not to touch our face. The recommendation to wash your hands well has highlighted for many of us that we actually haven't been washing our hands as thoroughly as we could have for all of our lives.
