E holoi i kou mau lima

By ʻO Heidi W

National Handwashing Awareness Week, e like me kekahi Kekemapa 1 a hiki i ka 7. Hōʻike nā pūnaewele ʻē aʻe e hāʻule i ka pule piha mua o Dekemaba, ʻo ia ka mea e hiki ai Kekemapa 5 a hiki i ka 11 keia makahiki. ʻOiai me he mea lā ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke ʻae i ka wā o ka National Handwashing Awareness Week, hoʻokahi mea a mākou e ʻae ai ʻo ia ka mea nui o ka holoi lima.

Me COVID-19, aia kahi manaʻo hou i ka holoi lima. ʻO kekahi mea a mākou e ʻōlelo nei e hana i hoʻoikaika ʻia ma ke ʻano he hana koʻikoʻi i ke kōkua ʻana i ka pale ʻana iā COVID-19. A ke hoʻomau nei ka COVID-19 a hoʻomau ka laha. ʻOiai ʻaʻole ʻo ka holoi lima wale nō ka mea e hoʻēmi ai i ka laha o COVID-19, hiki ke kōkua i ka hōʻemi ʻana. Ke holoi ʻole ka poʻe i ko lākou mau lima, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka manawa e lawe i ka maʻi i nā wahi like ʻole.

Wahi a ka World Health Organization, ma mua o COVID-19, ʻo 19% wale nō o ka heluna o ka honua i hōʻike i ka holoi mau ʻana i ko lākou mau lima ma hope o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka lua.1 Nui nā kumu no ka helu haʻahaʻa, akā mau ka ʻoiaʻiʻo - ma ke ao holoʻokoʻa, he ala lōʻihi kā mākou e hele ai. ʻOiai ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ma mua o ka maʻi maʻi COVID-19, he 37% wale nō o ʻAmelika ʻAmelika i ʻōlelo e holoi i ko lākou mau lima i ʻeono manawa a ʻoi aku paha i kēlā me kēia lā.2

I koʻu noho ʻana i ka Peace Corps, ʻo kekahi o nā lanakila "maʻalahi" ʻo ia ka hoʻomaka ʻana i kahi papahana holoi lima ma koʻu kaiaulu. E pili mau ana ka holoi lima i nā mea a pau, ma nā wahi a pau. ʻOiai he liʻiliʻi ka wai kahe ma Yuracyacu, ua nui ka muliwai kokoke. Ma ke ʻano he mea manawaleʻa ʻoihana liʻiliʻi, ua hoʻokomo wau i ka manaʻo o ka hana ʻana i ke kopa i loko o ka haʻawina. Ua aʻo nā keiki i ke koʻikoʻi o ka holoi lima (me ke kōkua iki mai kā lākou hoa Pin Pon) a pehea e hoʻololi ai i ka hana kopa i ʻoihana. ʻO ka pahuhopu ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka maʻa a me ke koʻikoʻi o ka holoi lima ʻana i ka wā ʻōpio, no ka holomua lōʻihi. Hiki iā kākou a pau ke pōmaikaʻi mai ka holoi lima ʻana. ʻAʻole maikaʻi koʻu kaikaina hoʻokipa i ka holoi ʻana i kona mau lima, e like me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi hana ma mua.

ʻO ke kamaʻilio ʻana e pili ana i ka holoi lima ʻana paha he manaʻo maʻamau, a ʻaʻole pono paha, akā hiki iā mākou ke hoʻohana i ka mea hōʻoluʻolu e hōʻoia i ka maikaʻi loa e hoʻēmi i ka laha o nā maʻi. Wahi a ka CDC, e hahai i kēia mau ʻanuʻu ʻelima e hōʻoia i ka holoi ʻana i kou mau lima ma ke ala pololei:3

  1. E pulu i kou mau lima me ka wai maʻemaʻe. Hiki ke mahana a i ʻole ke anu. E hoʻopau i ka faucet a kau i ke kopa.
  2. E hamo i kou mau lima me ke kopa. E hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ke kua o kou mau lima, ma waena o kou manamana lima, a ma lalo o kou mau kui.
  3. E holoi i kou mau lima no ka liʻiliʻi he 20 kekona. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻoia i ka lōʻihi o ka hana ʻana i kēia mele "Happy Birthday" a i ʻole e huli i kahi mele ʻē aʻe maanei. No nā ʻōpio ma koʻu kaiaulu mauna Peruvian, ʻo ke mele ʻana i ka canciones de Pin Pon i kōkua iā lākou e holoi i ko lākou mau lima me ka manaʻo a lōʻihi.
  4. Holoi maikaʻi i kou mau lima ma ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i lalo o ka wai maʻemaʻe.
  5. E hoʻomaloʻo i kou mau lima me ke kāwele maʻemaʻe. Inā ʻaʻohe kāwele, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaloʻo iā lākou.

E lawe manawa i kēia pule (a i nā manawa a pau) e makaʻala i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe lima ponoʻī a hana i nā hoʻololi e like me ia. Holoi lima i kou ala i nā hopena olakino maikaʻi no ʻoe a me ka poʻe a puni ʻoe.
