pay attention...the other part of the message is DON'T TOUCH YOUR FACE

soap and hot water break down the fatty substance that protects and surrounds the virus and it dies quickly

keep your finger nails short so it can't hide there...use cream on your hands so it can't hide in the cracks in your hands

now....all that said, yes wash your face, but AFTER you have washed your hands....and keep your hands away from your face

not a difficult concept to understand
