1. Get a flu shot.
2. Wash your hands. A lot. Especially after a visit with someone who is sick.
3. Avoid getting close to people who are sick. For example, don’t shake hands.
4. Keep your surroundings clean. Sanitise doorknobs and light switches.
5. Keep up a healthy lifestyle. Sounds obvious, but it’s important to look after your own health.
Do all the things we all should be doing on a daily basis anyway:
– Get adequate rest
– Get good nutrition
– Don’t smoke
– Keep your allergies controlled.
