It's ! Use today to get your hands sudsy and keep germs away! El Paso Public Health Services states keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. It is best to wash your hands with soap & clean running water for 20 seconds. However, use a 60 to 90% alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and clean water are unavailable. Alcohol-based hand rubs significantly reduce the number of germs on the skin and are fast-acting. 🌎 🧼 Learn more at: https://buff.ly/45hMGf8 City of El Paso, Texas - Municipal Government
