Quick Facts on How to Stay Healthy
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue out after using it.
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based sanitizers are also acceptable.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth, as this is the way germs spread
