The best ways to protect yourself from respiratory infections

Greetings – say hello without shaking hands.

Hand washing – the most important way to also prevent stomach diseases and traveler’s diarrhea.​

Always wash your hands

  • when you come in from outside
  • before cooking and eating
  • after going to the toilet or changing a diaper
  • after coughing, sneezing or touching the same surfaces as someone with a cold.
  • do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth unless you have just washed your hands.

Cough right

  • cover your mouth and nose with a disposable tissue when you cough or sneeze.
  • if you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into the top of your shirt sleeve, not into your hands.
  • put the used tissue in the trash immediately.
