- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick
- Stay home when you are sick
- Cover your cough or sneeze with your elbow or with a tissue. (Make sure to properly dispose the tissue after use.)
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
