Tips for Staying Healthy

· Wash your hands often using warm water and enough soap to create a lather. Rub hands together briskly for about 15 seconds (about as long as it takes to sing “Happy Birthday.”)
· Try not to touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.
· Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
· Practice good habits, such as not smoking, getting plenty of sleep, staying active, managing stress, drinking plenty of water and eating nutritious food.
· If you get sick, protect others by covering your mouth and nose when you sneeze. Use a tissue, or cough and sneeze into your upper sleeve, not your hands. Wash your hands often or use a hand sanitizer.
· If you are sick, stay home from work and school and avoid large public gatherings if you are coughing, sneezing and blowing your nose.
