Practicing good hygiene is a key strategy to help reduce the spread of respiratory illnesses like COVID-19, flu, and RSV. There are several actions you can take, including:
Covering your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your elbow instead of your hands.
Frequently washing your hands with soap and water to remove germs from your hands or by using hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol when soap and water are not available.
Regularly cleaning touched surfaces like doorknobs and countertops.
