Prevention of Disease

Prevention of Disease

To limit the Spread of Germs and Prevent Infection:
  • Wash your hands frequently with soap and water.
  • Cover your coughs and sneezes, and be sure to model that behavior. Remember if you cough in a tissue, hand washing after proper disposal is necessary. It is recommended that people cough into their sleeves.
  • Stay away from others as much as possible if they are sick. Stay home from work and school if sick.
  • Illness like colds, ear aches, sore throats, etc are often caused by viruses. Antibiotics are not effective against viruses. Overuse of antibiotics is becoming a concern as more and more organisms are developing a resistance to the antibiotics.
