(Undated) — Health experts are emphasizing the importance of washing hands to prevent illnesses from being spread as we enter cold and flu season. Doctor Allan Capin, an urgent care physician, says that means after a cough, sneeze, bathroom use, handling food, taking out the garbage and being out in public.
The CDC says regularly washing your hands can help reduce the spread of germs, including respiratory illnesses by up to 21 percent.
