This is a message from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Health an Human Services. COVER YOUR MOUTH AND NOSE: Use a tissue when you cough or sneeze and drop it in the trash. If you don’t have a tissue, cover your mouth and nose as best you can. CLEAN YOUR HANDS OFTEN. Clean your hands every time you cough or sneeze. Hand washing stops germs. Alcohol-based gels and wipes also work. REMEMBER TO PRACTICE HEALTHY HABITS, TOO. Germs that cause colds, coughs, flu, and pneumonia can spread easily. HEALTHY HABITS HELP REDUCE ILLNESSES AND SICK DAYS. Feel good about doing the right things to stay well.
