• Clean Common Surfaces: Disinfect frequently touched areas such as doorknobs, phones, and counters.
• Avoid Close Contact with Sick Individuals: Stay home if you feel unwell.
• Stay Up to Date on Vaccines: Ensure you and your family are vaccinated against pneumonia, influenza, and other preventable illnesses.
