Advice on Staying Healthy

  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Wash your hands with soap and water regularly.
  • Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective.
  • Try not to touch your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Stay home when you are sick (and keep sick children home from school).
  • Cough or sneeze into a tissue or your elbow. If you use a tissue, wash your hands afterwards.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
