Good health habits like covering your cough and washing your hands
often can help stop the spread of germs and prevent respiratory
illnesses like the flu.

1. Avoid close contact. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from
getting sick too.

2. Stay home when you are sick. If possible, stay home from work, school,
and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your
illness.

3. Cover your mouth and nose. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue
when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.

4. Clean your hands. Washing your hands often will help protect you from
germs.

5. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are often spread when a person touches
something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.

6. Practice other good health habits. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress,
drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.
