• Avoid congested or enclosed environments.

3. Meanwhile, you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or a tissue. After that, throw away the old tissue in a closed container and wash your hands. You can protect those around you against viruses that cause colds, flu, and COVID-19 by practicing proper “pulmonary hygiene.”
