4. Practice Good Hygiene

This is basic, but something we tend to forget when we are hurried. Wash your hands well with hot soap and water and wash them often. Try your best to avoid touching your face.

You don’t need to use antibacterial soaps, regular old soap kills germs just as well. If you cannot get to soap and water, use an alcohol based hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol content.

Keeping one of those small, travel sized hand sanitizers in your purse or pocket is a good idea.
