Germs can travel from person to person in a few different ways! They can spread when someone coughs or sneezes without covering up, or when you touch something that has germs on it and then touch your face. The good news is that there are easy things you can do to stop germs!
Washing your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds is one of the best ways to get rid of germs. Covering your coughs and sneezes with your elbow helps too. Try not to share cups or utensils with other people, especially if someone is sick.
If you are feeling sick, staying home and resting gives your body time to get better and keeps your friends from catching what you have. These small habits make a big difference! Being careful about germs helps keep everyone around you healthy and happy.
