Practice Respiratory Etiquette

Respiratory Etiquette, the practice of “good health manners,” includes covering your nose and mouth every time you sneeze, cough or blow your nose; putting used tissues in the trash; and washing your hands well and often whenever you or someone you are close to is sick. These good manners can prevent the spread of the viruses and bacteria that are passed from person-to-person in the tiny droplets of moisture that come out of the nose or mouth of an infected person when they cough, sneeze, or talk.
