Common Sense Precautions

  • Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing

    Cough or sneeze into a tissue and then throw it away. Cover your cough or sneeze if you do not have a tissue. Then, clean your hands, and do so every time you cough or sneeze.
  • Clean your hands often with soap and water or sanitizers

    The "Happy Birthday" song helps keep your hands clean? Not exactly. Yet we recommend that when you wash your hands -- with soap and warm water -- that you wash for 15 to 20 seconds. That's about the same time it takes to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice!

    Alcohol-based hand wipes and gel sanitizers work too! When soap and water are not available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers may be used. You can find them in most supermarkets and drugstores. If using gel, rub your hands until the gel is dry. The gel doesn't need water to work; the alcohol in it kills the germs on your hands.

  • Germs and Children

    • Remind children to practice healthy habits too, because germs spread, especially at school.
