It’s in our hands: a rapid, international initiative to translate a hand hygiene song during the COVID-19 pandemic	2020-05-06		.txt	text/plain	929	50	50	A prominent strategy to improve hand hygiene, developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), includes an effective six-step handwashing technique and has led to broad uptake through the use of a multimodal approach; however encouraging consistent compliance can be challenging [1] . In addition to needing to remember all six steps of the technique and needing to wash hands for the required duration of time, there can be a lack of awareness regarding the importance of handwashing technique on reducing the microbial burden on hands. In the context of the 3/6 evolving COVID-19 pandemic, the near-ubiquitous melody of Brother John provided an opportunity for international, interdisciplinary collaboration to translate and rapidly disseminate the musical mnemonic globally. A clear advantage of this six-step handwashing song is that it highlights the importance of correct technique, in addition to the recommended 20-second duration (such as singing "happy birthday" twice, another popular approach). Figure 1: WHO six-step handwashing technique 1 and handwashing song lyrics, set to the tune of Brother John.	./cache/cord-284532-b6tsjmfs.txt	./txt/cord-284532-b6tsjmfs.txt
