According to the CDC, the best way of preventing the disease is to avoid close contact with people who are sick or people who are not in your household, to avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands, to wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and to use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol if soap and water are not available.
