Most people who fall ill during cold or flu season catch the virus at work or school, where close quarters and length of exposure make it easier for viruses to spread. Luckily, many infections can be prevented with a little caution, according to the building maintenance and cleaning service experts at Honolulu's Kleenco Group.

To keep yourself healthy this flu season, they recommend:

  • cleaning serviceGetting Vaccinated: While the flu vaccine is never 100% effective, it can prevent you from getting sick and passing the virus on to your fellow students, coworkers, friends, and family.
  • Staying Home: If you do catch a cold or the flu, avoid coming to work and keep your kids home from school. Simply staying home can prevent the disease from cycling through your school or workplace.
  • Covering Your Mouth: Viruses are spread through microscopic droplets in the air, so cover your mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
  • Washing Your Hands Often: Warm water and regular soap will effectively kill most viruses and germs on your hands. Rub your hands together with soap for about as long as it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" to yourself.
  • Sanitizing Your Area: Using commercially available antibacterial wipes, sanitize phones, computer keyboards, door knobs, and any other "high touch" areas.
