According to Peel Public Health, the best way to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses such as COVID-19 is to:

·          Stay home if you are ill.

·          Practice social distancing: reduce physical contact with others (of at least 2 metres apart) to break the pathways COVID-19 uses to move between people, such as shaking hands and direct contact.

·          Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

·          Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose as much as possible.

·          Avoid contact with people who are ill and their items.

·          Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow, not your hands. Wash hands after coughing and sneezing.

·          Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a healthy diet, exercise and enough sleep, to enhance your body’s immune system.

·          Get a flu shot. You are more likely to contract influenza than COVID-19 and being sick lowers your immunity to other germs.
