Clinic Minute
Taking a few simple steps can help us slow the spread of disease:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- If soap and water are not readily available, you can use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Avoid close contact with those who are sick.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
