Thoroughly dry your hands immediately after you wash them.

Detailed explanation-2: -The most important way to reduce the spread of infections is hand washing-frequently wash hands with soap and water, if unavailable use alcohol-based hand sanitizer (containing at least 60% alcohol). Also important is to get a vaccine for those infections and viruses that have one, when available.
