Tips from Vijay Gopalakrishnan (87)

First and most important: wash your hands.
Try to stay in good general health.
Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue like Michael Jackson when you cough or sneeze or use your shoulder or crook of the elbow.
Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it and don't forget to wash your hands.
Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
Avoid close contact with others and their secretions. This means the usual handshakes, hugs and kisses.
Sharing drinking glasses, food and utensils should be avoided.
Use sanitizing or disinfecting agents often on frequently touched surfaces.
