How can I prevent becoming ill?

Printer-friendly version

The Public Health Agency of Canada gives the following advice:

- Wash hands often.
- Keep common surfaces disinfected.
- Cough and sneeze into your arm, instead of your hand.
- If you are sick, stay home until your symptoms are gone and you feel well enough to participate in all activities.
- If you get flu-like symptoms and are pregnant, have underlying health problems or if your symptoms get worse, contact your health care provider.
