<prompt> Ke hobaneng ha ho hlapa matsoho ho le bohlokoa ho thibela ho ata ha mafu?nan  <response>: Instruction in English: Why is handwashing important to prevent the spread of disease? . Response in English: Handwashing is an essential and effective way to prevent the spread of many types of infections and illnesses, including the common cold, flu, and foodborne illnesses. This is because our hands come in contact with many germs throughout the day, as we touch various surfaces, money, people, and animals. When we then touch our mouths, eyes, or noses, these germs can enter our bodies, making us sick.Washing hands with soap and water removes germs from your skin, reducing the chance of infection. The soap breaks down the oils and dirt that carry most germs, while the mechanical action of rubbing your hands together helps loosen and rinse away the germs. Drying your hands afterward also helps to remove any remaining germs.Regular handwashing, especially before handling food, after using the bathroom, after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing, and after touching animals or animal waste, can significantly reduce the spread of germs and help prevent disease outbreaks. In fact, handwashing has been shown to reduce the incidence of diarrhea by almost 50 and respiratory infections by nearly 20, making it an easy and effective way to promote public health. .
