4. Cover your cough and sneezes with a tissue or cough into your upper sleeve. COUGHING INTO YOUR UPPER SLEEVE SOCIALLY UNHEALTHY IDEA AS SOMEBODY WHO IS STANDING CLOSE TO YOU COULD GET AFFECTED BY YOUR UPPER SLEEVE, BESIDES THE UPPER SLEEVE WILL NOT COVER YOUR MOUTH AND NOSE WHEN YOU SNEEZE.
5. Cover your Nose/Mouth if anyone around is coughing/sneezing. IT IS BETTER TO WEAR A VEIL LIKE THE MUSLIM WOMEN OR KEEP IT COVERED LIKE A BANDIT RATHER THAN RUSHING TO COVER YOUR NOSE/MOUTH SOMEBODY AROUND IS SNEEZING AND THIS COVERING UP BUSINESS WILL BE DIFFICULT IF YOU ARE TRAVELLING IN A LOCAL TRAIN OR YOU ARE CARRYING THINGS IN BOTH THE HANDS, THE VEIL OR BURQA COULD BE BETTER.
