Throw the
tissue in the trash after you use it.
Wash your hands
often with soap and water, especially after you cough or
sneeze. You can also use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Avoid touching
your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
Try to avoid close
contact with sick people.
Stay home if you
are sick, until at least 24 hours after you no longer have a
fever (100 degrees F or 37.8 degrees C) or signs of a
fever (without the use of a fever-reducing medicine, such as
Tylenol).
While sick, limit contact with others
as much as possible to keep from infecting them.
