Washing hands with soap (CTPS) is one of the clean and healthy lifestyle behaviors that is currently becoming the world's attention given the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus that occurred at the end of December 2019 and had a very fatal impact on all corners of the world because it caused many deaths. The purpose of this community outreach is to increase the knowledge of the community in Huta Tonga Tonga Lingkungan II about the correct behavior of washing hands with soap. This activity was carried out in Lingkungan II Huta Tonga Tonga, North Sibolga District by visiting as many as 30 houses on January 12, 2021 with the target being housewives.
