How Flu Spredz
• Molly sneezes or coughs and does not cover it correctly, or wash her hands afterwards.
• Virus lands on a surface in a droplet from a sneeze or a cough (hand, desk, doorknob).
• Polly touches her eyes, nose or mouth before washing her hands or breathes in airborne mist from the cough or sneeze.
• Virus invades person Polly’s body and multiplies. Polly is contagious for a day or so before showing symptoms.

Infection Kontrol• Cover Coughs and Sneezes Correctly In your sleeve!
• Why is coughing/sneezing in your sleeve better than coughing/sneezing in your hand?
• You are less likely to spread your germs if they end up on your sleeve than you are if they end up on your hands.
