]]> 87884 2 0 Step If you can walk instead of taking a bus or subway, do so, even if it’s just part of the way. Open windows when possible; the virus spreads most easily in close quarters.

]]> 87885 3 0 Step Wash your hands often, and carry a hand sanitizer containing at least 50 percent alcohol to use when you have no access to soap and water.

]]> 87886 4 0 Step Avoid touching shared areas on transportation whenever possible, like armrests, in-flight magazines, hanging straps, and poles. Wash or sanitize your hands afterwards if you do have to touch them. Or consider wearing disposable latex gloves.

]]> 87887 5 0 Tip Use a tissue or paper towel to open the door when exiting a public restroom.

]]> 87888 6 0 Step Don’t touch your face. If the virus gets on your hands and then you touch your eyes, mouth, or nose, you could infect yourself.

]]> 87889 7 0 Step Keep as much distance as possible from others: Swine and other flus spread when the respiratory droplets of an infected person enter your body, which can happen if someone coughs or sneezes on you.

]]> 87890 8 0 Step Wear a disposable face mask if you must be in a crowded, closed space in an outbreak area. Look for ones labeled surgical, dental, medical procedure, isolation, or laser mask. This means they’re FDA-approved to protect from penetration by blood and body fluids.

]]> 87891 9 0 Tip If your mask is uncomfortable and difficult to breathe through, you’re wearing it correctly.

]]> 87892 10 0 Step If you become ill outside the country in which you reside, seek help from your nation’s embassy or consulate.

]]> 87893 11 0 Fact A study found nearly undetectable influenza particle levels after hands contaminated with influenza were washed with either soap and water or a hand sanitizer containing at least 50 percent alcohol.
