As the deadly coronavirus has affected more than 90 countries, people around the world have been urged to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds, or as long as it takes one to sing 'Happy Birthday' twice.

Nevertheless, a UK-based developer came up with a new tool that automatically pairs the lyrics of various songs with instructions on 'how to wash your hands properly'. The tool is simple and effective. One just has to enter a song name and song title, and it automatically pulls the relevant lyrics from Genius and places them, line-by-line, over an infographic produced by the UK's National Health Service (NHS).
