- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before and after eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
- Avoid toughing your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Avoid shaking hands when greeting people, to potentially prevent transmission.
