Germs can be spread even by healthy food workers. Which of these is the best thing you can do to prevent spreading germs?

Wear gloves at all times
Work quickly
Wash hands regularly and do not touch foods with bare hands
Use a lot of sanitizer

The correct answer is: Wash hands regularly and do not touch foods with bare hands

Regular hand-washing is the best way to prevent the spread of germs as it removes potential bacteria and viruses from your hands. Options A and D may provide some protection, but not as effectively as washing hands. Wearing gloves at all times can be counterproductive as germs can get trapped inside, and sanitizer may not be as effective as washing hands. Working quickly may not provide enough time for proper hand-washing, leaving hands unclean and still able to spread germs. Therefore, option C is the recommended and most effective choice for preventing the spread of germs.
