After shaking hands during flu season and virus outbreaks.
Before, during, and after preparing food, especially raw food.
Before eating food.
Before and after caring for someone at home who is sick with symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea.
Before and after treating a cut or wound.
After changing diapers or cleaning up a child who has used the toilet.
After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
After touching an animal, animal feed, or animal waste.
