So if you need an example of how to wash your mitts correctly, then look no further than Gloria Gaynor, who has shared a video on social media this week, in which she washes her hands to the tune of I Will Survive.
Gaynor first uploaded the video to her official TikTok channel, before re-sharing the clip to on Instagram. It shows her facing a mirror and washing her hands in the sink, while lip-syncing to the tune, to teach us all how to wash our hands for the correct amount of time.
The hand-washing tutorial quickly went viral social media, and fans have praised her for being such a positive role model to us all.
A report from the World Health Organization has now declared that the COVID-19 is a pandemic, writing in a statement:
"WHO has been assessing this outbreak around the clock and we are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction. We have therefore made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic."
The statement continued: "Pandemic is not a word to use lightly or carelessly. It is a word that, if misused, can cause unreasonable fear, or unjustified acceptance that the fight is over, leading to unnecessary suffering and death."
At the time of writing, there have now been more than 135,832 confirmed cases of COVID-19 across 114 countries worldwide. Of these, 5,120 people have lost their lives.
