Handwashing: Most infections (80-85%) are passed through hand-to-hand contact. Washing your hand frequently in warm soapy water will significantly reduce your chances of an infection. Other things to do include not sharing utensils, cups, toothpaste, hand towels, etc. Having those who are ill to cover his mouth when ever sneezing or coughing will help.

Immune boosters: If otherwise healthy take Vitamin C, drink green tea, eat foods that will boost your immunity and avoid smoking or alcohol in excess or other activities that will lower your immunity. Get plenty of rest and water. If you have any medical conditions do not wait at least contact doctor even if by telemedicine to get real time guidance. Vast majority of people survive especially if they get treatment
