others and trying your best to avoid doing so. It’s best to try and stay at home when you know you’re contagious. Work or school may be busy, but in the long run, it’s better for everybody.
If you’re sick…
The bottom line, if you have a fever, or you are coughing and sneezing, consider staying home, especially if you work in close contact with others. If you must go to work or school with a contagious cold, however, do your best not to spread it by using a tissue to cover your nose and mouth when you have to cough or sneeze, throwing away used tissues, and washing your hands frequently. Avoid close contact with your co-workers or classmates as much as possible.
If you’re not sick…
Checking Theraflu’s Flu Tracker can help you gauge the environment around you. Additionally, good handwashing, great hygiene, eating healthy and getting the flu vaccine (to avoid the flu,
not a cold) are some of your best bets to stay healthy.
