She stressed that human hands attract germs, bacteria and viruses in daily activities, Xinhua news agency reported.
"This is the fundamental reason hand hygiene should be a daily practice for everybody. Whether there is COVID-19 or not, every individual must adopt it," she added.

As the extension services coordinator at the state-run Community Water and Sanitation Agency, expressed her regret that many Ghanaians had relaxed in their observation of hand hygiene.

Moreover, said handwashing facilities that used to be in place at public institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic had been removed, with some becoming part of obsolete equipment to be discarded.
