It is necessary to wash hands also after cleaning pets& handling animal waste. & though sounds ridicules
Hand washing is also a good idea after handling money and after sneezing or coughing. And wash hands often when someone at home is sick.

Be sure to rub all areas of the hands for about ten to fifteen seconds. The rubbing action helps remove germs. Then rinse the hands with clean water and dry them.
Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are rubbed into the hands and do not require soap and water. Experts say these products must contain at least sixty percent alcohol to be effective. Professor Tielsch says hand sanitizers are OK for mothers to use but should not be used on babies’ skin.
