Background: The best way to prevent counting the COVID-19 is hand washing. However, there is little dissemination about the importance that it has and unfortunately it has not been given the importance it deserves.
Objective: To determine the knowledge and practices that the relatives of the 5 semester nursing students have about COVID-19 and hand washing.
Method: Descriptive research, with an intentional sampling of 83 people to respond to a pretest and posts with a preventive and informative training as a mediating tool for the use of presaberes, was carried out between March and May 2020.
Results: The informants had basic and adequate prior knowledge of what is involved in the practice of hand washing. A reflective interpretation was made with the design of an info graphic that visualized the state of opinion from a comparison between the instruments. The results and discussion suggested that the practice of hand washing is more than just a simple act.
Conclusions: There was prior knowledge that was strengthened by training and it was interpreted that health is a heritage that must be safeguarded with responsibility and biosecurity.

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is a huge global health threat. Interleukin27 (IL-27) gene is a cytokine that produces antiviral proteins in an IFN-independent manner and stimulates both pro- and anti-inflammatory responses. Interferon induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) inhibits SARS-CoV2 infection by blocking SARSCoV-2 spike proteins which facilitate viral entrance and cell-to-cell fusion.
