Avoid sharing with people who have colds.

Sharing food, drinks, utensils, dishes or cups with anyone who has a cold will greatly increase your chance of getting the virus.

Keep your distance (don’t come close).

Keep your distance and stay away from crowded places. Get plenty of fresh air.

Myth: Cold weather causes the common cold.

Fact: Cold weather has never been linked as the cause of a cold. Some theories suggest that the increase of the occurrence of the common cold during colder months is because people gather indoors where viruses are more likely to spread in poor air circulation.
