Hygiene & Cleanliness Cleanliness is next to godliness.This famous phrase signifies the importance of cleanliness in our personal as well as social life. Hygiene is very important and should be part and parcel of our lives. When the word cleanliness comes in our mind it surely remains us about the preservation of our health. So we should understand the fact that to build up a healthy body and mind, we should keep our body and mind, hygienic in each and every perspective.Dirt spreads diseases because, germs grow and live in it. Remember, 'Health is wealth'. Maintenance of hygiene implies not only the maintenance of personal hygiene, but also the maintenance of social,environmental, public hygiene etc...According to the World Health Organization(WHO), "hygiene refers to conditions and practices that help to maintain health and prevent the spread of diseases".So, it is very important for everyone to learn about hygiene.Various diseases are caused due to the lack of awareness to learn cleanliness and hygiene.Diseases like Dengue, malaria,chicken pox are caused due to the lack of awareness.Hence we should follow certain good habits to keep our surroundings clean and hygiene. Nowadays,the importance of personal and social hygiene have gained massive importance since the outbreak of coronavirus, widely known as COVID-19 has strucked the world.From the studies for the prevention of COVID-19 we get to know that adopting good hygiene could slow down and prevent the spread of coronavirus. Some of the measures put foward by the health department are; avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth, wash hands regularly, maintain social distancing,keep good mental health. From the measures to prevent COVID-19 we realised that we couldn't prevent the disease without maintaining social distancing. So, social hygiene is as important as personal hygiene.If there is no social hygiene, personal hygiene is of no use. Almost 234 countries of the world being struck by this deadly disease, among these Italy and America have reached the greatest death rates. If we look into the reason for this, we see that it is because they were not concerned about the importance of social distancing.At the same time,Kerala was able to bring the spread of the disease under control, mainly through social distancing. The tireless hardwork of the Government and the health department should be appreciated.They gave the public aware of the importance of hygiene regularly. Good habits that should be followed to maintain proper hygiene and better health are intake of nutritious food, consumption of pure water, keeping the surroundings neat and clean, use tissue paper whenever sneezing or coughing, disposal of wastes properly,avoid spitting on public places, keeping public places dry and clean, washing and bathing,destroy the conditions favourable for the multiplication and spreading of vectors of infectious diseases such as stagnant water etc... The issue of hygiene should not be debatable.Every individual is mandated to be clean. Unhygienic lifestyle exposes us and the people around us to lot of risks and we can easily avoid all these risks if we maintain proper hygiene. In our country everyone needs to know the importance of cleanliness and hygiene.Let us join our hands together for a healthy and hygienic earth for the future days.We can make the cleanliness and beauty of the earth last long. ബാനിഷ ഫാത്തിമ 10 സി സെന്റ്. ജോസഫ്‍സ് എച്ച്. എസ്. എസ് പൈങ്ങോട്ടൂർ കോതമംഗലം ഉപജില്ല എറണാകുളം അക്ഷരവൃക്ഷം പദ്ധതി, 2020 ലേഖനം  സാങ്കേതിക പരിശോധന - Anilkb തീയ്യതി: 22/ 04/ 2020 >> രചനാവിഭാഗം - ലേഖനം
