Best Answer

It does not prevent communicable disease completely due to a lot of germs floating in the air. Without touching anyone, you can still breathe the air they breathe and get sick. Washing your hands will HELP prevent diseases being spread, especially after using the restroom or taking out the trash, etc. You never know what type of bacteria you just exposed yourself to.
