How to protect the rest of your family if someone has a cold or flu
Wash your hands frequently if you’re caring for sick family members
Catching a cold or flu as the season changes is not uncommon.

Germs can live on surfaces for up to 48 hours so avoid touching your face (mouth, nose, eyes) before washing your hands.
