If you thought standing in front of the class on your birthday, while your classmates sang the 'Happy Birthday' song, was cringy, imagine how singing the song twice while washing your hands would feel? But the time taken to sing the song twice while washing hands with soap is enough to kill the virus, says the UK's National Health Service (NHS) on Twitter.

Emphasising on the importance of washing hands amid a global pandemic scare, the National Health Service posted on their Twitter page saying that washing your hands is the best way to protect yourself from Coronavirus germs. It also adds that you have to wash your hands for the amount of time it takes to sing 'Happy Birthday' twice.

While some liked the hand-washing tip with singing the ‘Happy Birthday' song, some tried it with singing other songs to kill the germs of the disease that has infected thousands of people worldwide. Making a social media trend, some also posted a list of songs one can sing and wash hands to!
