Yes wash your hands even if there’s no pandemic
Handwashing should not be something that we are forced to do. It should be second nature to us. Have you used the restroom? Wash your hands. Are you going out to eat? Before conducting any activities, wash your hands. Nobody would want to shake hands if they only realized how many of us practice good hygiene.
However, it appeared that a worldwide epidemic was required to make people aware of the importance of hand washing. This message does not appear to be a friendly reminder, but it drives home the need for hand washing to an extreme extent.
