The tried-and-true way to wash your hands
The top recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to protect against infection is to wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. You and your kids can follow along with young Johnathan as he walks you through his handwashing process

Wash your hands

• If you think your child is sick or is showing symptoms of COVID-19, contact your child’s doctor to get directions on what you should do, or call the Children’s Hospital Colorado ParentSmart Healthline™ at 720-777-0123.
• Do not come to Children’s Hospital Colorado emergency or urgent care locations unless your child is experiencing a medical emergency or your doctor gave you direction to. This will help us limit the spread of infection in our emergency department and help us continue to care for kids with the most critical needs first.
