③ The palms are facing each other, and the hands are rubbed against each other with fingers crossed;

④ Hold the thumb of the left hand in the right hand to rotate and rub, and exchange the left and right hands;

⑤ Bend your fingers so that the joint rotates and rubs in the palm of the other hand, swapping left and right hands;

⑥ Put the tips of five fingers together on the palm of the other hand to rotate and knead. Wash your wrists if necessary.

Washing hands with running water when going out is not convenient, and when there are no visible pollutants on the hands, you can use alcohol-based quick-drying hand disinfectants to disinfect your hands.
