As ‘Cleanliness is next to Godliness’; personal hygiene measures are important. Frequent handwashing is the best way for protection from infections. Appropriate use of soap and water or an alcohol-based (at least 60%) hand sanitizer with scrubbing for at least 20 seconds is mandatory. Sir William Osler has mentioned 100 years ago, that “soap, water and common sense are the disinfectants”, which is even applicable today.
