While it may seem like a simple task, this viral twitter video shows that there is a difference between washing your hands and washing them thoroughly. A person is seen wearing a pair of white disposable gloves and applying a small amount of black paint to the palm of their hands to represent liquid soap.

Every part of the person's hands is eventually covered in black paint. It is a brilliant demonstration that highlights the importance of following the step-by-step techniques provided by the WHO (World Health Organization) to prevent the spread of germs.

Disco legend Gloria Gaynor is staring down this pandemic in defiance by bringing back her 1978 hit 'I Will Survive' to Tik Tok (otherwise known as that super catchy song from Shrek for our younger audience).

The video of her washing her hands and lip-syncing to her own song became a social media sensation, sparking millions of views and others showing off their hand-washing techniques with the associated hashtag. Well, if COVID-19 is bringing back disco than we're all for it.

Speaking of catchy songs, die-hard K-Pop fans will be much more inclined to listen to their idols for a hand-washing PSA. For them, what's 20 seconds when you're jamming to your favourite BTS or BLACKPINK tracks?!

Some of these songs are absolute bangers that you might even start twerking at the sink. By all means, we'll be happy to add that to our viral video list if it blows up.
