Lets Stop the Swine Flu

What You Can Do to Stay Healthy

-Stay informed.
-Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.
-Take everyday actions to stay healthy.
-Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
-Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
-Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
-Stay home if you get sick. CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
-Follow public health advice regarding school closures, avoiding crowds and other social distancing measures.
-Find healthy ways to deal with stress and anxiety.
