More than 800 million children don't have access to basic hand washing at school, according to a new report from the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children’s Fund.

World Health Organization Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus speaks at a news conference at its head office in Geneva on July 3. Kyodo via AP Images

Guidelines for reopening schools during the Covid-19 pandemic emphasize the need for hygiene to reduce transmission and recommend that schools enforce regular hand washing, among other measures. There are 818 million children globally who do not have access to basic handwashing at school. Of those children, 355 million -- mainly in Northern Africa and Western Asia -- have access to water but not soap. The remaining 462 million have no access to hand washing.Nearly 70% of schools had basic drinking water services, but this still left 584 million children globally without access to basic drinking water at school, the report said.

“Access to water, sanitation and hygiene services is essential for effective infection prevention and control in all settings, including tools,” said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, in a news release alongside the report.
