The best way to prevent the spread of infectious diseases is to practice good hygiene, such as washing your hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Avoid close contact with people who have symptoms of an infectious disease, and if you suspect you may be infected, stay home from work or school and consult a doctor. If possible, wear a face mask when out in public, and avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
