This challenge, which has been blowing up on social media, challenges participants to take a video of themselves washing their hands for at least 20 seconds. Why 20 seconds? Because that's what the CDC recommends.
After you wash your hands, you are supposed to challenge others to do the same. All of this is to promote the CDC's recommendation, and stop the spread of COVID-19 in our communities.
In Morales' video, he challenged Police Chief Richard Smith of Kansas City, City of Milwaukee Health Commissioner Jeanette Kowalik, and Milwaukee County Sheriff Earnell Lucas.
Morales is not the only one taking part in this challenge. Celebrities near and far are also taking part. Even Selena Gomez has joined in!
Now, it's your turn. Take a video of you washing your hands for at least 20 seconds, then nominate a few others to do the same.
You're likely stuck at home anyway, so you should have the time! Plus, you'll be joining in on a pretty popular trend while also slowing the spread of COVID-19.
