Good Habits to Stay Healthy
- Wash your hands. Cleaning your hands often will help protect you from germs.
- Avoid close contact. Stay away from people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to prevent them from becoming ill.
- Cover your mouth and nose. Cover both with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. This may prevent others from catching your illness.
- Stay home if you are sick. If possible, stay home from work, school, or errands when you are sick
