The procedure of washing hands has been covered by the news media over and over. As many times as I have seen the procedure of washing hands on TV, I've never seen it mentioned how to end the procedure properly which is turning off the faucet(s).

That is the reason I started this thread so the general public is aware not to contaminate their hands after the washing has been completed. This is something that was drilled into me over 50 years ago and it is second nature for me to turn off all faucets in the manner I described. I just wish the media would include this very important step when instructing the general public.
