Globally, 64% of female respondents washed their hands with soap or hand sanitizer at least five times a day during the Covid-19 pandemic. This percentage is higher than that of males, which was 52%.
Meanwhile, by region, more respondents in developed countries washed their hands with that frequency than those in developing countries. For example, 94% in Denmark and Norway compared to 21-24% in Mali and Senegal.
Washing hands with soap, using masks, maintaining distance, and avoiding crowds (3M) are necessary for people when engaging in activities outside the home. These health protocols can prevent the further spread of the coronavirus.
