Should we all take off our rings?

Seems like the reasonable thing to do, especially the ones with stones. I have taken off mine Smile

Yes, I took off all my jewellery last week. It’s much easier to thoroughly wash hands

UYScuti · 15/03/2020 19:04

ummm?
sure, but why?

Splitsunrise · 15/03/2020 19:05

yes I have

They are germ magnets aren't they

GrumpyHoonMain · 15/03/2020 19:05

Yes I would. Easier to clean and if you do need to be admitted to hospital then there’s nothing for anyone to lose or steal

Yes. This is why health staff are bare below the elbows so they can wash their hands properly.

UYScuti · 15/03/2020 19:06

ah, comprende!
I dont wear much in the way of rings but I'd imagine they are not exactly conducive to optimal hand hygiene so yes this seems like a good measure to take :)

I've not, but I only wear a plain gold wedding band. I work in microbiology so I'm used to washing my hands thoroughly and always wash under it, many times a day.

Should point out, the NHS dress code allows a plain band worn by all staff, I stick to it, by some of my co-workers don't. More fool them I reckon!
