Avoid close contact with people suffering acute respiratory infections.
Wash your hands frequently. Use soap and rub your hands together under running water for at least 20 seconds. Dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
Avoid close contact with sick live farm animals or wild animals.
People with symptoms of acute respiratory infection should practice cough etiquette (maintain distance, cough into your bent elbow if possible). Cover coughs and sneezes with disposable tissues or clothing, dispose of tissues in a rubbish bin, do not reuse them and wash hands.
