Contest : Clean Hands for a Healthy Community

_{Hello Everyone
This is @max-pro from #Bangladesh}

Assalamu Alaikum everyone, I hope you are all well. By the grace of Allah, I am also well. Today I have come to participate in a wonderful health contest organized by the moderator of this community @alfazmalek. It is a very wonderful contest, so I thank him a lot. Below I will answer some questions and discuss them in detail.

First of all, cleanliness is a part of faith. We need to be clean to live a healthy life. I wash my hands and face thoroughly after I wake up every day when I do ablution.

I wash my hands before and after eating, after using the toilet, and after returning home from outside. I usually wash my hands with soap and clean water for at least 20 seconds. I sometimes use hand sanitizer when I'm outside.

In my opinion, both hand washing and hand sanitizer are important, but which one is more effective depends on the situation. When our hands are visibly dirty, such as dust, sand, or oil, then washing our hands thoroughly with soap and water is definitely the most effective. It removes not only germs but also visible dirt.

On the other hand, hand sanitizer is especially effective when you are outside and there is no water or soap available, so it is an effective option to quickly destroy germs. Using sanitizer is especially important in places like markets, public transport, or hospitals. So I would say that both are needed. The combination of using soap and water at home and using sanitizer outside can maintain good hand hygiene.

Yes, I have explained the importance of hand washing to people in my community, both in person and online. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, I discussed this issue with my family, relatives, and neighbors. It was a terrible pandemic in 2021 that shook the entire world. Everyone in our area was very aware and looked for various health tips online. We all had a panic attack that we had to stay clean no matter what.

So, even if we didn't want to, we had to listen to health tips all the time. However, at first, many people didn't understand how and for how long to wash their hands. However, I used to tell everyone how and for how long to wash their hands. Because such instructions were always given on Facebook and various online platforms.

For this, we can take many steps. Regular classes or workshops on hand hygiene can be organized in schools and colleges. Since we have a lot of visitors in all these institutions.

• Children should be taught when and how to wash their hands from an early age. They should be made to wash their hands while playing and before eating. Because if children get used to it from an early age, they will be good at it in the future.

• Awareness can be raised by putting up posters on hand hygiene in local shops, hospitals, schools, clubs and mosques. For this, awareness posters should be used.

Easy provision of soap and water should be made in places where people come a lot in the community such as ponds, markets, markets, playgrounds. For this, prior arrangements should be made in advance. So that all people can receive adequate services.

So I am Inviting my lovely Steemian friends @ulfatulrahmah, @karianaporras, @chant, @alejos7ven, @jyoti-thelight, @mikitaly, @adriancabrera to Participate in this Competition.
