When it’s time to switch from driving to sleeper/ or sleeper to drive- wipe down your area with a sanitizing wipe. (We put extra sanitizing wipes in everyone’s truck!)
Wash your hands:
You’ve heard it all your life and this simple task may not seem like a lot, but it does more than you think.
Washing your hands with soap and water for the proper amount of time (singing happy birthday) can rid your hands of the germs you collect just by touching simple things. If you don’t have the ability to always wash your hands — try carrying some hand sanitizer with you.
How Flu Spreads
Most experts believe that flu viruses spread mainly by tiny droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby. Less often, a person might get the flu by touching a surface or object that has the flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes.
