Is there any point of washing your hands as you are touching the handles when people haven't washed? Also how the hands are dried.
Keep your fingies out of your face and your bare hands off door handles and taps in public places and you´re doubly protected. You´ll look weird using your elbows to open doors though.
The official WHO hand washing guide (https://www.who.int/gpsc/clean_hands_protection/en/) has as its final step the instruction to use a disposable paper towel to dry one´s hands and to then use said tissue to turn off the tap.
What I would add as a Finn, having been drilled at school on hand washing and looked at fingernail scum samples through a microscope during a science lesson, is to use one of these: https://sinituote.fi/tuote/sini-siivousvalineet/kylpyhuoneen-wcn-ja-saunan-pesu/pesuharjat/kynsiharja/. Every home in the country has a pile of these. Nothing beats good ole brute mechanical force when it comes to cleaning hands and especially those filthy fingernails.
