What are the hygiene rules? Hygiene rules are practices that promote and maintain cleanliness, health, and safety. These rules may vary depending on the context, but some general hygiene rules include:
Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating or preparing food, after using the bathroom, after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow when coughing or sneezing. Dispose of used tissues immediately and wash your hands afterward.
Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, nose, and mouth, as this can spread germs.
Keep your living and working areas clean by regularly cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and objects that are frequently touched, such as doorknobs, light switches, and countertops.
Practice good food safety by washing fruits and vegetables before eating them, cooking food thoroughly, and storing food properly to prevent contamination.
Avoid sharing personal items such as towels, razors, or toothbrushes with others.
Maintain good personal hygiene by taking showers or baths regularly, brushing your teeth twice a day, and washing your hair as needed.
Following these hygiene rules can help prevent the spread of illness and keep yourself and those around you healthy.
