In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended that all member states provide universal access to public handwashing facilities. Consequently, WaterAid and other organisations have been working with governments to install handwashing facilities in a wide range of public places and buildings, to support improved handwashing practices and reduce transmission of the virus. Locations include markets, public transport hubs, public/ communal toilets and buildings such as healthcare facilities, schools, restaurants, places of worship, commercial and public offices.
The crisis has triggered renewed interest and a rapid scale-up of handwashing facilities, and at the same time a wide range of new designs. The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on existing best practice for handwashing facilities, and to share innovation and learning from WaterAid’s hygiene response to COVID-19 to date.
