Infuse some fun into the critical hand-washing regimen to the tune of a song
In the current scenario, the WHO advisory is loud and clear, "wash your hands frequently". Numerous hand-washing guides have taken over the Internet and provide essential information on method and time. A new website, Wash Your Lyrics, by a 17-year-old UK-based developer tries to add some fun to this 20-second chore.

You can choose between soap and gel, and write your own song too. We gave it a workout and here's the report card.
