Cover Your Cough Poster

Stop the spread of germs that make you and others sick!

Cover your cough

  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze; or cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not on your hands.
  • Put your used tissue in the waste basket.
  • You may be asked to put on a surgical mask to protect others.

Clean your hands after coughing or sneezing.

  • Wash hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds; or clean with alcohol-based hand cleaner.
