•Wash hands often for 20 seconds and encourage others to do the same.
•If no soap and water are available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
•Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw the tissue away.
•Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
•Disinfect surfaces, buttons, handles, knobs, and other places touched often.
