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

Correct Answer(s)
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.

After using the bathroom, dry your hands with ........... for at least 20 seconds

Correct Answer(s)
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.

If you have a cold,
- A.
  
  Sneeze into tissues
- B.
  
  Use hand sanitiser
- C.
  
  Cook as many foods as possible during the day
Correct Answer(s)
A. Sneeze into tissues
B. 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.

Staying home when sick is recommended to prevent the spread of germs and protect others from getting sick.
