According to the CDC, viral illnesses generally spread through tiny germ-filled droplets that are expelled when a sick person, sneezes, coughs, talks, etc.
Wash Your HandsMake sure they are covered with soap and scrub for at least twenty seconds. Scrub your entire hand up to your writs, including in between your fingers and under your nails.
Keep Your DistanceGenerally, six feet should be sufficient for holding a conversation. If the person you’re talking to is sneezing or coughing, it’s probably best to save the conversation for later and get out of there.
Limit Exposure to the Sick PersonIf the sick family member can use only the bathroom and bedroom until the virus runs its course, you’ll have two rooms to worry about keeping clean, instead of the entire house.
