Millions of infectious particles can shoot off into the environment in just a single sneeze. Covering the mouth and nose is not enough to diminish the spread of disease - germs transmit through air and contact-to-contact. Hands are one of the most effective carriers of germs so keeping good hand hygiene is vital.
