To avoid viruses, you should follow some basic hygiene practices. For example, you should wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially before eating or touching your face. You should also cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow when you cough or sneeze, and dispose of the tissue properly. You should avoid close contact with people who are sick, and stay home if you have any symptoms of fever, cough, or difficulty breathing. You should also wear a mask when you are in public places where social distancing is not possible, and get vaccinated if you are eligible and advised by your doctor. By following these simple steps, you can protect yourself and others from viruses.
