It serves as a defence against the germs we may encounter in others while protecting them from our own. <a href=\"https:\/\/fairfuturefoundation.org\/?swp_form%5Bform_id%5D=6&amp;swp_tax_limiter%5Bcategory%5D=&amp;s=washing+hands\">Washing hands<\/a> after using the toilet, before eating, and after meals is not just recommended; it is mandatory.
