2.) Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
3.) Stay home when you are sick.
4.) Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
5.) Maintain at least 1 meter (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
6.) Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately.
