Washing Hands Important Defense Against Virus

As the coronavirus COVID-19 continues to be in the headlines…health officials have been reminding people one of their best defenses against it is the same as for a number of other potential illnesses:  wash your hands.  Lauren Kraemer from OSU Extension in Wasco and Hood River counties says the important thing is to use soap and water, do it for 20 seconds, and to be thorough.  If soap and water is not available, use hand sanitizer.  Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth, avoid contact with people who are sick, and cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
