Covering sneezes and coughs is crucial to prevent the spread of droplets that can carry infections to others. Here are some key practices:
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing, sneezing, wiping, or blowing your nose, and dispose of the tissue immediately after use.
- If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow rather than your hand.
- Perform hand hygiene right away.
Helping Residents and Clients:
- Encourage them to use tissues when they sneeze or cough.
- Place a plastic bag nearby for immediate disposal of used tissues.
- Promote regular hand hygiene.
- Ensure alcohol-based hand rub is within easy reach.
Respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette are especially important for individuals with infections spread by droplets.
