Keep your distance! If someone has a cold or flu, give him or her space! Viruses spread through airborne transmission or personal contact.
Wash your hands! Viruses can survive on doorknobs, keyboards, and other objects. If you touch them and touch your nose or mouth then you’ve got it. Wash your hands after being in a public place.
Avoid sharing mugs, cups, or utensils. Use your dishwater or hot water to clean.
Avoid second-hand smoke. If you smoke, try to quit!
Eat a well-balanced, healthy diet, drink plenty of water, get a good night’s sleep!
