How to Avoid Spreading a Cold or Other Virus?
It's more significant than before to ensure you're taking all of the steps you can to prevent spreading virus that can make you and your loved ones sick. Fortunately, some of the most effective steps for preventing the spread of disease are also the easiest.
Wash your hands often. The best way that you can help prevent the spread of virus is to wash your hands frequently with soap and water. Wash your hands for 20 seconds, making sure to scrub (擦洗) your palms, the backs of your hands and fingers, under your fingernails, and around your thumbs.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. It can be really difficult. That includes being careful not to rub your eyes, scratch your nose, or bite your nails, because virus can more easily enter your body from these areas.
To protect yourself, avoid sharing items like clothing, makeup, drinks with anyone else, including members of your own household. That way, even if one person is sick, the virus will be less likely to spread to anyone else.
Practice social distancing. If there's an illness going around, like during cold and flu season, try to limit your contact with other people. Those types of virus are often spread when a person sneezes or coughs. And do the same if it's you that may be sick. That way, the virus will be less likely to spread.
