Hi! here are the ways to stop or prevent the transmission:

1. Wash hands throughly and frequently.
2. Watch those faucet handles because germs left there will be picked up again when you close the tap. Always disinfect the door knobs and faucet handles.
3. Wipe down your things when someone has a cold in your house. Do this on kitchen countertops, dining tables, study desks, and even kids' toys. The virus lives from a few seconds up to 48 hours outside the human body, but may live longer on nonporous surfaces (plastic, metal or wood) than they do on porous surfaces (fabric, skin or paper).
4. Give your child vitamins to strengthen his immune system.
