To protect yourself and your co-workers from these and other germs:
* Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue every time you cough or sneeze, and throw the used tissue in a wastebasket. If you don’t have a tissue, sneeze or cough into your sleeve, not your hands.
* Wash your hands often, especially after coughing, sneezing or using the restroom. Use soap and warm water and rub your hands together for about 20 seconds, making sure to scrub all the surfaces. Rinse your hands under clean, running water and dry them with a paper towel. No soap and water available? Alcohol-based hand sanitizer can inactivate most germs in a jiffy, so always keep some at your workstation.
* Get a flu shot (or the nasal vaccine if you don’t like needles). A yearly flu vaccination is the single best way to lower your chances of getting the flu. If you get the vaccine but still get sick, the vaccine can make the bug milder.
* Avoid close contact with co-workers who are obviously ill, and if you’re sick, stay home and keep your germs to yourself.
* Steer clear of the damp sponge that might be lurking in the sink in your office kitchen. Squishy sponges are breeding grounds for disease-causing bacteria.
* Use alcohol-based wipes or other approved sanitizers to disinfect your keyboard, telephone, desk and mouse.
