- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Remember to cover coughs or sneezes using the inside of your elbow instead of your hands when a tissue is not available.
- Wash your hands regularly: Plan ahead to make sure you have easy access to the supplies you need to practice good hand hygiene (soap and water or alcohol-based hand cleaners) and wash your hands often.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
- If you get sick, stay home: People with flu-like symptoms should stay at home until at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever or signs of flu (without fever-reducing medicine).
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfcases and items such as door knobs, school desks, keyboards, pens, etc.
- People who are pregnant or have health conditions that put them at higher risk for complications should see a doctor as soon as possible if flu-like symptoms develop.
