Why you should stop wearing your rings and watches (wedding bands included) during the coronavirus outbreak
Quote:
Wearing rings and watches could make it difficult to thoroughly wash your hands and remove germs during the coronavirus outbreak.
If you don't want to temporarily stop wearing them, take off your rings and wash them with warm water and soap every time you wash your hands.
A 2018 study from researchers at Georgia State University found that when healthcare providers wore rings to their jobs, the area where the rings sat on their skin provided "a protected area in which bacteria can flourish," the researchers wrote. They also found that people who didn't wear rings and washed their hands were able to kill more bacteria than those who wore rings.
