- When coughing and sneezing, you should turn away from others, tilting your head down.
- Do not use a handkerchief, but disposable paper napkins, which must be thrown away immediately after use.
- In traditional tissue handkerchiefs, germs are warm, moist and "comfortable" - they will live there for a long time, exposing them to the risk of re-infection.
- In the absence of a paper napkin, you should sneeze or cough into the crook of your elbow, not into your palm. Sneezing or coughing "into the palm" leads to hand contamination and further spread of infection through hands and household items.
- With a wet cough, do not spit sputum anywhere. Use disposable paper napkins.
- It is important to wash your hands often and thoroughly with soap and try not to touch your lips, nose and eyes with your hands. If you do not have the opportunity to wash your hands often during the day, use special gel "sanitizers".
- If possible, you should avoid communication with those who cough or sneeze, and keep a distance of at least 1 meter from them.
- If you catch a cold, cough or sneeze, reduce contact with other people as much as possible.
- Do not self-medicate. Seek help from specialists in a timely manner. Avoid complications.
Let's be mutually polite, let's take care of each other!!!
