wash your hands


#1. Handwashing: one of the most important aspects of preventing the influenza virus from spreading. As well prevention from getting the virus.

#2. Do not cover your coughs and sneezes with your hands instead carry a small pouch of kleenex with you at all times and grab one out before you cough then use this to cover your cough or sneeze, then throw it away and wash your hands if possible.

#4. use disinfectants as well as clean wipes at home and in your workplace.
