Here's how to prevent from getting sick due to unwanted germs you get from your home, in traveling and touching things:

1. Avoid touching your nose, mouth, and eyes (if unnecessary)

2. Cover your nose and mouth when sneezing or coughing

3. Disinfect doorknobs, phones, and your kid's toy

4. Wash Your Hands

When to wash your hands?

•  Food - before preparing and after it so as when you eat it.
•  Patient - before and after caring to your sick patient
•  Toilet | CR | Washroom | Restroom - after using the toilet
•  Baby | Child - after changing the diapers or the who has used the toilet
•  Sneezing | Coughing | Blowing Your Nose -this is to avoid from passing a flu to other people.
•  Pets | Animals - after playing with your pets or slaughtering of a livestock
•  Garbage - after throwing/touching a garbage and its bin
•  Travel | Public Transit | Commute - after commuting thru a public vehicle, because lots of unknown germs are residing on that metal pole or seat of yours.
