Is handwashing important during travel?

0

A. Yes. One of the most important ways to reduce infectious disease transmission during travel is to wash your hands carefully and frequently. Soap and water will help remove potentially infectious materials from your hands. If soap and water are not available, and your hands are not visibly dirty, use a waterless, alcohol-based hand gel with at least 60% alcohol. See these websites for information about effective handwashing: Handwashing Tips (PDF document) and Hand Hygiene After a Disaster.
