From childhood, many of us were taught to wash our hands often: increased attention to personal hygiene and the prevention of infectious diseases was a strength of Soviet upbringing. The children grew up, began to go abroad and discovered that some hygiene rules that seemed so natural in our country are not always observed in the rest of the world: for example, peers in other countries could not change clothes and shoes when entering the house.
The coronavirus pandemic has forced people around the world to reconsider their attitude to hygiene. Changing clothes and shoes when returning to the house from the street has become one of the preventive recommendations; washing hands was dedicated to broadcasts on television and dances in social networks.
