Cough Etiquette
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue, or your upper sleeve or elbow, when you cough or sneeze. Throw used tissues immediately in a lined wastebasket, then wash your hands using soap and water or an alcohol-based sanitizer.
Remind any children in your care to follow these recommendations and support them to do so.
