- Dear questioner,
What is a good hand – cough hygiene ???
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue that you immediately throw in the waste basket. If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not your hands. Afterwards clean your hands by washing them with water and soap or by desinfecting them with alcogel.
You can read more information on the CDC-website www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/covercough.htm
where you can also download flyers and posters in different languages to spread in the hospital, at home or at school.
