The coronavirus and influenza are both spread from person to person, especially indoors and in crowded places.
Here are some tips to help prevent COVID-19 and the flu:
· Wash your hands properly and regularly or use a hand sanitizer.
· Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, throw it away and wash your hands.
· If you’re sick, stay home and isolate yourself from others.
· Use a face covering when in public and close to others. They prevent spreading germs and viruses.
· Maintain physical distance from others.
· Avoid crowded places to decrease your risk of exposure.
