Hand Washing & Etiquette When Coughing or Sneezing | Growing Up with Smart Cat - Episode 3

Kaltura

We may not be able to see them with our eyes but germs are everywhere. And when we don't wash our hands the germs we pick up could spread to other things we touch causing us or someone else to get sick.

So how long do you think we should wash our hands for?

Any guesses? If you said twenty seconds you're right! Germs can also be spread around when we cough or sneeze. That's why it's always important to cover your mouth any time you feel a sneeze or cough coming on. 

Taking these simple steps can help us stay healthy and germ free.

Es posible que no podamos verlos con nuestros ojos pero los gérmenes están en todas partes. Y cuando no nos lavamos las manos los gérmenes que recogemos podrían propagarse a otras cosas que tocamos causando que nosotros o alguien más se enferme.

Entonces, ¿Por cuánto tiempo crees que deberíamos lavarnos las manos?

¿Pueden adivinar?. Si dijiste veinte segundos¡Tienes razón!. Los gérmenes también pueden propagarse cuando tosemos o estornudemos. Es por eso que siempre es importante taparse la boca en cualquier momento que sientes venir un estornudo o la tos que venga.

Siguiendo estos sencillos pasos puede ayudarnos a mantenernos saludables y libres de gérmenes.
