Washing the hands and the face too

With the fear of being infected by the highly communicable corona virus people are advised to wash their hands for 20 seconds at least with soap and water. The soap will kill the virus if ever it is on your hands. But what about if the virus happens to be on the face?

Now comes the more practical advice. It is to wash the hands and also the face with soap and water. If there is a potential virus where you came from it is better to be safe to wash not only the hands but also the face.
