Contexte
Respiratory infections are infections that happen in the lungs, chest, sinuses, nose and throat, for example, coughs and colds, the flu and pneumonia. These infections can spread from person-to-person through the air, through person-to-person contact (touching hands, hugging, kissing) or by touching contaminated surfaces.
Good respiratory hygiene, such as covering your coughs and sneezes, can help prevent the spread of infections.
This lesson plan supports you to educate students on why respiratory hygiene matters, how microbes spread through sneezes and coughs, and how infection spread can be prevented.
