    Explanation
    It is important to wash hands when preparing food to prevent the spread of bacteria. Washing hands after touching raw foods helps to remove any potential pathogens that may be present.

    The refrigerator should be kept below 4*C for proper storage of foods? 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because keeping the refrigerator below 4°C helps to maintain a low temperature that inhibits the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms in food. This temperature range is considered safe for storing perishable items such as meat, dairy products, and leftovers, as it slows down the spoilage process and helps to preserve the quality and freshness of the food for a longer period.

    After using the bathroom, wash your hands with ............ 

    Correct Answer
    soap
    Explanation
    Washing your hands with soap after using the bathroom is important because soap helps to remove dirt, germs, and bacteria from your hands. It creates a lather that helps to lift away any contaminants on your skin, making it more effective than just using water alone. Soap also contains surfactants that can break down the lipid layer of certain viruses, further reducing the risk of spreading infections. Therefore, using soap is a crucial step in maintaining proper hand hygiene and preventing the transmission of diseases.

    • 50%

    • 40%

    Correct Answer
    A. 80%
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 80%. This means that out of all reported cases of food poisonings, 80% of them occur in the home. This suggests that the majority of food poisoning incidents are a result of improper food handling, storage, or preparation practices within people's households. It highlights the importance of practicing good hygiene, following proper food safety guidelines, and ensuring that food is cooked and stored correctly to prevent foodborne illnesses.

    Correct Answer
    paper towel
    Explanation
    After using the bathroom, it is important to dry your hands thoroughly to prevent the spread of germs. Using a paper towel is recommended as it effectively absorbs moisture and helps to remove any remaining bacteria or viruses from the hands. Drying your hands for at least 20 seconds ensures that they are completely dry and reduces the risk of transferring germs to surfaces or other people.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Sneeze into tissues
    A. Use hand sanitiser
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to sneeze into tissues and use hand sanitizer. This is because when you have a cold, sneezing into tissues helps to prevent the spread of germs and viruses to others. Using hand sanitizer is also important as it kills any germs that may be on your hands, reducing the risk of spreading the cold to others or reinfecting yourself. Cooking as many foods as possible during the day is not directly related to preventing the spread of a cold.
