Swine Flu Emergency: Helpful Tips
• Use a tissue, your arm, or your sleeve not your hands to cover coughs and sneezes.
• Throw tissues away immediately after using them.
• Frequently wash your hands with soap and warm water, even if you are not feeling sick. Count to 20 to be sure you’ve washed long enough. If you have no access to a faucet, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands, especially after being out in public.
• Avoid touching your nose, eyes or mouth germs spread this way.
• Stay home when you are sick and do not send children to daycare or school if they are sick.
• Keep your distance from others when you are sick.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• If you must be in a public setting during influenza pandemic, try to sit or stand more than an arm’s distance - about three feet - from other people.
