Hi, my name is Dr. Hamidah Meghani, and I am Halton Region’s Medical Officer of Health – the doctor in your community helping to stop the coronavirus! I work with your school to make sure it’s safe for you to be there.
Washing your hands often is important so you can get rid of any germs you may have picked up by touching things during your day! These germs can get into your eyes, mouth or nose when you touch your face. Follow these steps to wash your hands the right way:
1. First, get your hands wet.
2. Next, put soap in your hands.
3. Then, rub your hands and sing the ABCs.
4. Remember to include the backs of your hands and between fingers.
5. After you are done singing or humming, Rinse your hands.
6. Dry your hands.
7. Then use paper towels to turn off the tap.
Thank you for doing your part to protect yourself, your classmates, teachers and others at your school. Let’s continue to be kind and have a great school year!
