The Potential Impact of Intensified Community Hand Hygiene Interventions on Respiratory tract Infections: A Modelling Study	2020-05-27		.txt	text/plain	3051	172	57	Our analyses show that the effect of hand hygiene is highly dependent on the duration of viral persistence on hands and that hand washing needs to be performed very frequently or immediately after hand contamination events in order to substantially reduce the probability of infection. [16, 17] An immediate consequence of this conceptualisation is that the time interval between the hands becoming 78 contaminated and making infectious contact with the host's mucosa can have a critical impact on how 79 effective a given frequency of hand washing will be at interrupting transmission ( Figure 2 ). We assume that when hand washing is performed after the last hand contamination event and before a 312 face-touching event at time t i , the respective probability of virus persistence P (t i ) is reduced to zero. . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.26.20113464 doi: medRxiv preprint Figure S4 shows that the shorter the virus persists on hands, the higher the probability of transmission 332 per face-touching contact has to be if the cumulative probability of infection is assumed to be fixed.	./cache/cord-325546-bgdr25z1.txt	./txt/cord-325546-bgdr25z1.txt
