In the event of a pandemic, with limited availability of vaccine or antiviral medications, we will all need to rely heavily on basic hygiene practices to help stop the spread of germs. The federal plans include recommendations to:

• Encourage workers to limit the spread of germs in the workplace by practicing good hand hygiene and covering their coughs (cough etiquette).
• Provide an ample supply of easily accessible hand hygiene products, such as soap and water and alcohol-based hand sanitizers, as well as tissues.
• Begin worker education on proper hand hygiene and cough etiquette immediately so that good habits are well established for every flu season.
