Be sure to get plenty of rest, and that includes naps when you get the chance to. Also, drink plenty of water throughout the day. The following are simple ways to decrease your chances of getting sick; the following are a few CDC recommendations:

1. Avoid close contact with those that are sick

2. Stay home when you are sick.

3. Cover your mouth and nose.

4. Wash your hands often (20 seconds is preferred)
