How to Avoid Getting a Stomach Virus

• 1). Wash your hands regularly after mealtimes or after using the bathroom. Put a small amount of soap on your hands and rub together vigorously for at least one minute. Rinse hands throughly by rubbing them together under lukewarm water. Pat dry with a cloth or use an automated hand drier.
  
  
• 2). Use an anti-bacterial hand santizer during the day when using a computer, touching doorknobs, or when using public transportation.
  
  
• 3). Do not share food or drink out of the same container as those who may be sick with a stomach virus. If a stomach virus becomes common in your region, avoid eating at restaurants until the threat has passed.
  
  
• 4). Disinfect surfaces regularly to prevent the spread of germs. Cleansers that contain bleach or alcohol can help reduce your chances of contracting a stomach virus.
  
  
• 5). Drink plenty of water in order to stay hyrdated and to help your body maintain its viral defences.
