Family Flu Prevention Tips!

·         Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze.  Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.

·         Try to avoid close contact with sick people.

·         Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.  Germs spread this way.

·         If you get sick with flu-like symptoms, stay home from work or school or church until your fever is gone for at least 24 hours. Limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.

·         Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and throw the used tissue in the trash.
