Infection prevention strategies

Infection prevention strategies are methods to reduce the spread of germs and keep people healthy. They include regular handwashing with soap and water, using hand sanitizer when soap isn’t available, and covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing. It’s also important to keep surfaces clean, avoid touching your face, and stay home if you’re feeling unwell. In healthcare settings, wearing protective gear like masks and gloves helps prevent germs from spreading. These practices work together to protect individuals and the community from infections and improve overall health.
