How do you catch a cold or the flu?


Most often through direct contact.  It could be a respiratory route (if you're within a few feet, it could be a sneeze or a cough), a contact route (such as touching, shaking hands or kissing) that transmits a cold.

Cold viruses can also be transmitted when you touch things that have recently been touched by someone who has a cold and then touching your mouth, face, eyes, etc.

What steps will help me to prevent getting sick?

The best way to prevent the flu is by getting an annual flu vaccine.  When you are in close proximity to people like in a shopping mall, theater or airplane remember to wash your hands frequently and thoroughly (or use an alcohol-based hand cleaner), especially after using the toilet and before preparing or eating food.
