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.
