The measles rash. A rash usually appears a few days after the cold-like symptoms. The spots are sometimes raised and join together to form blotchy patches. They’re not usually itchy. The rash looks brown or red on white skin. It may be harder to see on brown and black skin.

Happy #WorldHandHygieneDay everybody. Key messages: • #handhygiene works and reduces #hcai and #amr • think about technique - coverage is key • look after your hands (moisturise often) • be a positive role model for others • and finally…do you really need those gloves?!

Hand hygiene is so simple yet often overlooked and underestimated as a key measure for patient safety to reduce risk of cross infection. Great job @IPC_CDDFT to promote this key message on #WorldHandHygieneDay2023 🙌🏼

Unnecessary glove use has a big impact on planetary health & can be disruptive to hand hygiene.   With World #Handhygieneday this Friday we’ve created posters to help highlight when you don’t need to reach for a pair of gloves.   Download them at ics.ac.uk/sustainability 🌏

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
In the US, the CDC recommends or requires disposable gloves in all healthcare settings. They're also recommended by the FDA. cdc.gov/coronavirus/20… fda.gov/medical-device… The WHO recommends the use of medical gloves worldwide. cdn.who.int/media/docs/def…
