Can Prevent
Colds & Flu

These simple reminders can reduce the severity and/or disrupt the spread.

Wash your hands frequently.

Especially after contact with other people or surfaces, before meals or cooking, or after using the bathroom. [28]
 

Avoid touching your eyes, mouth or nose.

That way, you will avoid transmitting viruses you might carry on your hands. [25, 28]
 

Don’t smoke.

Get support if you need it and keep trying. Do it for your family and yourself. [29]
