Infection prevention is key during this pandemic, and reducing hand recontamination is important to ensuring patient and HCW safety at all times. In a recent study in Tanzania during which 781 hand hygiene indications were observed, approximately half of the times when birth attendants rubbed or washed their hands, they then recontaminated their hands on potentially unclean surfaces before performing an aseptic procedure. In their ethnography of infection prevention in Australia, Hor et al 9 state that understanding the "boundaries of what is clean" is not straightforward in hospital departments and that HCWs have different perceptions over whether certain surfaces could potentially lead to cross transmission.	./cache/cord-271360-2s6h4u8p.txt	./txt/cord-271360-2s6h4u8p.txt
