Cover Your Cough and Sneeze.
Coughing and sneezing, unfortunately, are excellent ways to spread germs. In fact, studies show that the speed of a sneeze is over100 miles per hour and can project out 5000 droplets, containing around 10,000 bacteria, that can be propelled up to a distance of 12 feet. So, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you sneeze or cough. If you don’t have a tissue, cough and sneeze into your elbow to help prevent germs from being projected into the air and to keep them off your hands. Remember to wash your hands often!
