Healthy practices
We cannot always tell when someone has an infection. Some people may be infected with a germ and not appear sick, but they may still be able to pass the germ on to others. Healthy practices help to reduce the chances of an infection spreading from one person to another.
Use hand sanitizers
Keep alcohol-based hand sanitizers handy and use them often.
Stay home when you are sick
Avoid large crowds
Viruses can spread more easily.
Reduce unnecessary travel
