Covid-19: The Handwashing Test!

I feel like we don't even have to explain why hand washing is important nowadays, do we? In this dystopian present we find ourselves, we must fight the Covid-19 virus with every weapon in our arsenal, and the most powerful weapon we have is... caution. People think caution is simple but it isn't really. Sometimes it goes against lifelong habits. But today we have no choice. By the time you finish this quiz, you have either proven to yourself you know how to wash your hands thoroughly, or you'll learn how to. Either way, please share it with others, we all have little holes in our cautionary walls, and one person letting their guard down may affect many others.
