Hand hygiene is very important

Some people think the hand washing program is a new thing in the community or people who live in an area or country. For that reason, on this occasion I try to share a little information about the hand washing program which has become very popular at this time, especially during the 19th pandemic. Nowadays this is done routinely by someone who is active outside the house or inside the house. There are even suggestions when you use public facilities, don't forget to wash your hands.

This was usually done by the people of Aceh in the period before the 1980s and even now especially in rural areas. Those who are just doing activities outside the home even if there are guests who come to visit they will wash their hands and feet before they enter the house. This becomes a sight that we can meet when we visit a resident's home. They provide a jar or tub in front of a house that has been filled with water so that people who do activities outside the house when returning home wash their feet or hands first.

There are also houses that are provided with wells in front of their homes, this is a very important thing for the people of Aceh in the past, so they can clean themselves before entering the house, this is especially for those who carry out activities in the fields, gardens or fields.

The hand washing program is a program sponsored by WHO and UNICEF which is a world body under the United Nations. This program was implemented in Indonesia, especially in Aceh after the 2004 Tsunami. Many of the programs implemented in Aceh were one of which was a hand washing program for elementary school students. To better implement this program, an inter-school competition is held so that students better understand the importance of washing hands. This hand washing program is a very positive thing that must continue to be socialized for all levels of society not only to children.

A habit that has been carried out by the Acehnese people until now is washing hands before or after carrying out an activity that involves both hands. Good when eating, working or when urinating or defecating. This is to maintain healthy hands, of course, affect the health of the body as well.

Prompts to wash hands continue until the time to all corners of the world in any hemisphere is to prevent our infection from Corona Virus. So that almost all public facilities provide soap and of course portable faucets to facilitate the realization of the suggestion of hand washing for anyone anywhere.

What about you are you lazy to wash your hands while before the globalization era the villagers are very diligent in washing their hands in order to maintain health. Of course the hand washing program that has been implemented by WHO and UNICEF can be maintained so that we can maintain the health of our bodies.

Suggestions we might be able to do:

• Wash your hands by using running water and do not forget to use soap, both before the activity and after the activity is adjusted to our activities.
• If we cough or sneeze, cover using tissue, handkerchief or with the base of the inner hand.
• If there is an unpleasant part of the face, do not use your hands to wipe it, especially the eyes, nose, mouth or face.

That's a little review that I can write, hopefully useful. Thank you for visiting my blog, always successful.
