Help children (and adults) develop good habits...
Teach them to cover their mouth and nose with tissue when coughing and sneezing.
This fellow is a good example of what NOT to do.

Remember to use a tissue!
The best way to keep children from spreading a virus is to encourage them to wash their hands.
• Use warm water and lots of soap!
• Sing the Happy Birthday song two times while washing (about 20 seconds).
• Rinse well and dry on a clean towel.

Pandemic Phases
The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a global influenza preparedness plan, which defines the phases of a pandemic, outlines the role of WHO, and makes recommendations for national measures before and during a pandemic. The phases are:
Interpandemic period
Phase1: No new influenza virus subtypes have been detected in humans.
Phase 2: No new influenza virus subtypes have been detected in humans, but an animal variant threatens human disease.
Pandemic alert period
Phase 3: Human infection(s) with a new subtype but no human-to-human spread.
Phase 4: Small cluster(s) with limited localized human-to-human transmission
Phase 5: Larger cluster(s) but human-to-human spread still localized.
Pandemic period
Phase 6: Pandemic: increased and sustained transmission in general population.
