MESSAGES TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF VIRUSES AND TO STAY HEALTHY
Practice these healthy habits to prevent the spread of viruses:
• Wash your hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds. If unavailable, use an alcohol-based hand
sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, or cough/sneeze into your upper sleeve.
• Immediately throw away used tissues in the trash, then wash hands.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as doorknobs, handles, light switches, tables, toilets, faucets, sinks and cell phones.
• Avoid touching common surfaces in public places – elevator buttons, door handles, handrails, etc. Use elbows or knuckles to push buttons when you do not have a tissue or sleeve to cover hand or finger.
• Make sure others in your household, or anyone you are regularly in close contact with, follow these
precautions.
