Take action to stop respiratory viruses from spoiling holiday cheer.

If you are sick, stay home to avoid putting others at risk. You should also avoid others in the household to lessen their risk. If you have severe or worsening symptoms, call your healthcare provider.

Cover coughs and sneezes when around others to help protect them.

Stay away from others who are sick, if possible. Usually, there are more droplets and particles that can make you sick closer to the person who is infected.

Masks can help reduce the spread of respiratory viruses. Wearing a high-quality mask while you travel, for example, can help protect you and others. This might be especially important for those who are immunocompromised.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Germs spread easily this way.

Handwashing often with soap removes most germs, including respiratory viruses, from your hands. If soap and water are not available, using a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol can kill many germs.

Viral particles in the air spread between people more easily indoors than outdoors. Any way you can improve air quality, such as opening windows or using air purifiers, can help reduce the amount of virus you are exposed to.
