Hand hygiene refers to practices like handwashing with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand sanitizer to remove germs and prevent the spread of infectious disease. It's a core focus of public health guidance from organizations like the CDC and WHO, and is especially emphasized in healthcare settings, food service, and during disease outbreaks.
