Sanitation for Millions has assessed its interventions in the three partner countries (Jordan, Uganda, Pakistan) in context of the COVID-19 pandemic and identified various WASH-related measures, which represent an adequate and effective response to COVID 19 in particular and to pandemics and infection control in general.
Handwashing is one of the core activities carried out with regard to safe hygiene. According to international research results, infections are transmitted in 80 % of the cases by hands. Therefore, handwashing is one of the most efficient response to pandemics and for infection control since it removes germs, reduces health risks, prevents the spread of germs and pathogens to others and is not costly. Safe hand hygiene is relevant everywhere you stay and at any time you are active, be it at work, at home, in school, or during recreational times and times of travel.
