  4. Use tissue paper to cover your mouth and nose when sneezing and coughing; use tissue paper to wrap the secretion and throw it into the rubbish bin with lid; wash hands immediately. If tissue paper is not available, cover your mouth and nose with elbow instead of palm. 
  5. Maintain good ventilation and environmental hygiene;
  6. Avoid going to crowded places; 
  7. Put on a mask if you develop influenza-like symptoms, take care of patients or enter medical institutions. Please refer to the guidelines of wearing mask from Health Bureau (guidelines);
