Once a colleague had a tremendous eye-infection and it was extremely contagious, her entire family had passed it on after her mother had caught it during a visit at an eye specialist! I was really worried, but washing my hands and then my eyes very often I could avoid getting it.

This is a great suggestion, one might not think of it. Now in public toilets there are often water taps that are automatically dispensing water simply by putting the hands under them, that's a good thing.
In my bag I always carry a disinfecting gel and use it especially if I happen to use a bus or the underground. I think those are the greatest risks.
How often do I caress my beloved cat Zelda, even kiss her on her head, without running immediately to wash the hands? Well she is a housecat, does not go out, and of course cats are extremely clean animals, but still!!
Probably great exaggeration is also a risk, because then we don't develop the necessary antibodies to the germs ...
I love soaps and always I am tempted to buy new ones ... even if I have still enough. Now there are more liquid soaps than cakes of soap. I love both types.
Keeping clean and teaching little children to make a habit of handwashing is important. Simon enjoys it, but he wants to do it on his own, without any help. This may take a little more time, but it's well worth it, that they like to do it!
Love and hugs ... and shaking hands
During the Mass the priest invites people to exchange a sign of peace and I must say I don't like to shake hands with strangers ... but then it seems unkind ... (wet cleaning towels in the bag may also be a good idea!).
