Wash your hands

It's a quick and easy way to keep germs out of your liver. Warm water and a little soap will do. After using the restroom, feeding a baby, or preparing food, wash your hands with warm water and soap.

Hepatitis cannot spread when your hands are clean. This type of hepatitis is a dangerous liver disease that spreads from person to person. Anyone can get it, particularly if they don't wash their hands before making, eating, or touching food or beverages. It also spreads by intimate contact with a hepatitis A patient. Especially in the current pandemic, hand hygiene, along with masks and social distancing, are proven behaviors that prevent the transmission of COVID-19.
