Swine Flu Information

   
Use preventive measures as flu season approaches

The Centers for Disease Control has the following ways to prevent the spread of H1N1:

• Practice social distancing. Avoid hugging and other customary greetings, such as a kiss on the cheek.
• Stay informed.
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue as you sneeze or cough. Throw the tissue in the trash after it is used.
• Wash hands often with soap and water, especially after a cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are most effective.
• Avoid touching the eyes, nose and mouth because this is how germs are spread.
• Develop a family emergency plan and stock food, medicines, facemasks, alcohol-based hand rubs and other needed supplies.
