• Wash hands often with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread this way.

• Practice good health habits – plenty of sleep and exercise, reduce stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat healthy foods.
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
