Take a look at your nails now, are they long? Well, if they are, a nurse in Australia has called for you to cut them because apparently they're one of the fastest spreaders of coronavirus.
Posting on Facebook the nurse lamented the fact that although it is all well and good to wash your hands, there does not seem to be a focus on how important it is to actually have short nails in order to be clean of germs.
She wrote: “Among all the hand-washing instructions and the fun 20-second song suggestions, I haven't seen anyone note that it is impossible to wash your hands properly if your fingernails are long”.
As she explains, this is because it is easy to get dirt and debris, as well as bacteria and viruses, caught under you nail which is then.
