Advise people to avoid shaking hands during COVID-19

Petition Details

The Government and NHS should advise the public to avoid shaking hands during the COVID-19 outbreak to help prevent the transfer of COVID-19.

Additional Information

Similar to the advice to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ advice during hand washing, we could ask everyone to give the ‘Royal Nod’ with a smile, as a simple way of greeting people instead of shaking hands.

Save lives, show national solidarity during crisis and be helpful.
