Abstract

• Covid-19 has highlighted how little we really know about controlling infection.

• The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has ignited a tsunami of interest in basic hygiene.

• Despite a shaky evidence base, hygienic activities have propelled infection control onto the global stage.

• Covid-19 has compelled us to re-examine the chain of transmission as never before.
