2. Avoid touching your face as much as possible 

3. Cough and sneeze into a tissue or your elbow. Throw out used tissues right away.  

4. Do not share objects that have been in other people’s mouths, e.g. toothbrushes, drinks and water bottles, unwashed utensils, cigarettes, lip products, and mouthpieces of musical instruments.

 5. Stay home if you feel sick. You can return to work or school one day after you are symptom free. Staying home will help prevent the spread of infections to co-workers and the general public.
