The spread of influenza can be minimized by adhering to good respiratory hygiene which includes:
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
- Clean your hands often, especially after coughing or sneezing. Wash with soap and water if available or clean with alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Visit the Infection Control website for more tips on avoiding spreading illness.
