The Flu
This flu season, learn and share the advice from your Public Health professionals. Practice these healthy behaviors, even if you don’t feel sick:
- Cough and/or sneeze into your elbow – not your hands or the air!
- Wash your hands with hot water and soap frequently.
- Keep bottles of hand sanitizer handy – especially when soap and water are not available.
- Keep tissues available everywhere, and give them to others!
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
- If you do have flu symptoms – STAY HOME!
If we all practice these simple steps, we can keep each other safer and healthier. For more ideas on flu preparedness, visit: http://www.firstvictims.org/flu.
