Good hygiene: Cold viruses are spread mostly by droplets from the nose or mouth of an infected person spread via their hands to another surface that they may touch. The next person to touch the same surface can transfer viral particles to the eyes or mouth. Frequent hand cleaning can help reduce this transmission. You can help keep your immune system healthy by regular exercise and eating fruits and veges.
