First and foremost, wash your hands, including all surfaces between your fingers and your fingertips.
When you need to cough or sneeze, be sure to use a piece of paper, then throw it away, and wash your hands.
If you don’t have any paper, cough and sneeze onto a sleeved elbow.
Remember to avoid touching your face with your hands.
If you’re sick, stay home. If if need be, call your doctor.
If you have flu symptoms or shortness of breath, a mask can actually prevent your from spreading your germs or the virus to the public.
However, a mask is no substitute for good hand-washing.
When a person coughs or sneezes, the infection—the virus travels in the droplets sprayed out from the cough or the sneeze into the air.
If the droplets land onto your eye’s mucosa, for example, then you can get infected, and this is how the virus spreads.
We should avoid shaking hands or greeting each other the traditional way.
Instead, we can do the air high-five or the air handshake to avoid touching each other.
