The World Health Organization and UNICEF have developed global guidelines for hand hygiene in community settings.
While the WHO has long maintained guidelines for clinical environments, this is the first time the organization has issued unified, science-based guidance for community settings.

The guidance was issued Oct. 15 to coincide with Global Handwashing Day.
