Is cleanliness next to godliness? Hospital officials in San Antonio are praying that is the case during the coronavirus pandemic.

Officials at Methodist Hospital Metropolitan in the southern Texas city put a lighted pair of praying hands on the outside wall of the building with a simple phrase next to it: "Wash 'em." KSAT reported.

It’s a friendly, but handy message to stay germ-free, the television station reported.

“It is a reminder of one of the most crucial steps we can take to stem the spread of this virus,” Greg Seiler, CEO of Methodist Hospital Metropolitan, said in a news release.

Other buildings in San Antonio are posting light messages, too. The Marriott Rivercenter is lit with red and blue stripes and the letters "USA" down the middle, KSAT reported. The Marriott Riverwalk will have a heart, illuminated by lights from hotel rooms, on its side. That is similar to the hotel displays on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
