Cover your mouth and nose with tissue or your bent elbow when coughing or sneezing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDispose of used tissues immediately in a covered bin, avoid close contact with sick individuals and refrain from sharing personal items,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ondo govt says everyone is susceptible to diphtheria disease Ondo govt urged residents to maintain good hygiene practices Ondo govt urged residents to get vaccinated The Ondo State Government has warned residents against diphtheria, saying that everyone is susceptible to contracting the disease.
