Hand Washing - Dryer
A provider requested to post the question below:
Can air dryers be used to dry hands? If so, how does this impact the hand washing procedure?
The issue would be turning off the faucet. If it is an automatic faucet and they don't have to touch it, then air drying is not a problem. If they turn off the faucet with clean hands, they are recontaminating their hands.
