There are two main ways: direct contact and indirect contact.

For me the most imporant thing to do if you want to keep healthy is good hygiene. Good hygiene will protect you and others from diseases. Some examples of good hygiene is brushing your teeth everyday washing your hands before and after you eat or after you cough or sneeze.
