Students should do the things they need to do to prevent getting sick over the holidays, she said.
"Avoid direct contact with people, cough or sneeze into your sleeve and wash your hands a lot," Smith said. "If you have to cough, cough into a Kleenex, and then throw it away.

"Good hygiene is acknowledging that there are people around you who might be ill, so you need to be smart about it."
