Summary

This manual on COVID-19 includes evidence indicating transmission of the virus through respiratory droplets. Along with this, the manual also incorporates information about the precautionary methods of the coronavirus (COVID-19). WHO and UNICEF estimate that globally, 3 billion people lack hand hygiene facilities at home, and two out of five healthcare facilities lack proper hand hygiene. Free and mandatory provision of hand hygiene, supported by public health authorities, improves adherence and acceptability, particularly in emergencies. This guidance is essential globally, especially in areas with limited access to hand hygiene facilities.
