Prevention:

Practice good hygiene. Wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if water and soap are not available.
Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue; throw the used tissue into a trash can.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
If you are sick, do not go to work or school; stay away from other people as much as possible.
Try to stay in good general health. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.
