In our presentation we are going to talk about steps you can take to prevent the spread of
communicable, non- airborne illnesses in your day-to-day life. There are many approaches that
we will address that will help prevent contagious diseases from spreading. These include
washing your hands thoroughly, learning proper coughing etiquette, and using germ eliminating
products.

When properly washing your hands, lather your hands with water and an antibacterial
soap. Make sure to cover both the entire surface area of your hands and between your fingers.
After 20 seconds have passed you should dry your hands using a paper or cloth towel if they are
available. Use your towel to turn off the water faucet and open the bathroom door when you are
finished instead of your hands to ensure your hands stay clean.

When you cough you are expelling tiny microparticles which can contain germs that can
infect those around you. When coughing, therefore, you have to cover your mouth with a tissue
(if available) or your inner elbow. This is important as it prevents the microparticles from being
transmitted through the air. Be sure not to use your hands as a cough buffer as this can be a way
to easily spread germs without realizing it. By coughing correctly we keep our germs to
ourselves.

 The final way that you can defend yourself from contracting non-airborne communicable
illnesses is to effectively use hand-sanitizers in order to kill germs on your hands. When
interacting with the world around you, touching hard surfaces with your hands is inevitable. To
combat this you should use an alcohol-based product as a good way to stay germ free. Ensure
that you use enough to cover the entirety of your hands and air dry them in order to give the
alcohol enough time to kill the germs. Don’t rub your hands until they are dry, just enough to
make sure they are completely covered. Let your hands air-dry instead.

Currently, the world is facing a strain of non-airborne communicable disease known as

Covid-19. These steps can be used to protect yourself and those around you from risk of
infection. By limiting the virus’ opportunities to spread by way of person-to-person contact we
can help our community stay safe.
