The More You Know*

Reporter: When you were talking about precautions such as, you know, covering your cough and...you know, don't even give people...a kiss of greeting. Is that only affected areas or for everyone?
CDC Representative: I think covering your cough is something you should always do. It's an appropriate way to reduce the likelihood of transmission of an infectious disease. In terms of how you greet somebody, if you're in an infected area or if you have the swine flu, it's probably best not to give a kiss, but we're not recommending an end of affection during the period. It's a period of time when we need a little more affection, but doing it in a way that isn't going to transmit a respiratory disease would be a CDC approach.
