Men wash their hands after using the bathroom less than women, years of research and on-the-ground observations show. IOL_Lifestyle coronavirus

Washington - The spread of the new coronavirus is shining the spotlight on a little-discussed gender split: men wash their hands after using the bathroom less than women, years of research and on-the-ground observations show.

Social media comments about men's handwashing lapses forced an august British institution to caution visitors about bathroom behavior this week. Men and women approach handwashing after using the restroom differently, according to multiple surveys and field studies. "If you stand in the men's bathroom at work, and watch men leave, they mostly don't wash their hands if they used the urinal," said one New York City public relations executive, who did not want to be identified for fear of alienating his colleagues.
