Saratoga County Department of Health - Washing Hands Can Keep You Healthy and Prevent the Spread of Disease, Especially During Cold and Flu Season

Washing hands can keep you healthy and prevent the spread of disease, especially during cold and flu season. 

Germs can spread from person to person or from surfaces to people when you:  

-Touch your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands 

-Prepare or eat food and drinks with unwashed hands 

-Touch surfaces or objects that have germs on them 

-Blow your nose, cough, or sneeze into hands and then touch other people’s hands or common objects 

You can help yourself and your loved ones stay healthy by washing your hands often, especially during key times when you are likely to get and spread germs.
