Its soap, not water that kills the #coronavirus

Early in the lockdown, I remember a scientist explaining how hand-washing kills the coronavirus.

The virus is not destroyed by water. But it is literally torn apart by soap.

The soap needs water to get to work, but that does not mean anyone needs to hold their hands under running water for 20 seconds.

All you must do is wet your hands and apply soap.

Rub the soap on your wet hands for 20 seconds.

This will kill any viruses on your hands.

At the end, turn the tap back on and rinse your hands under running water, and the soapy water with the dead viruses goes down the drain.
