What is the best way to prevent the spread of infection/germs?

Using sanitizer
Wearing a mask
Gloves at all times
Hand washing

The correct answer is: Hand washing

Hand washing is the best way to prevent the spread of infection and germs because it is the most effective method at removing germs and bacteria from your hands. Using hand sanitizer can be effective, but it doesn't remove all types of germs and is not as thorough as hand washing. Wearing a mask and gloves can help prevent the spread of infection, but they are not as effective as hand washing as they only cover specific areas of the body and may not provide protection from all types of germs. Additionally, wearing gloves at all times may actually do more harm than good as the constant use of gloves can create a false sense of security and cause individuals to neglect proper hygiene practices like hand washing. Therefore, hand washing remains the best and most recommended method for preventing the spread of infection and germs.
