Apple Watch watchOS 7 hand washing timer

Apple Watch users are getting a new feature on the watchOS 7 that will help users wash their hands for 20 seconds. This feature will help many Apple Watch users wash their hands the correct way for the correct duration to kill all harmful viruses and bacteria.

Since the COVID-19 is spreading like fire, such a feature should help in reducing the spread of the virus.
