HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS THIS FLU SEASON

Wash your hands with soap and clean running water. Visit www.cdc.gov/h1n1 for more information.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recently reported that doctors visits for influenza-like illness (ILI) are increasing nationally. As a result many residents having mounting concerns about contracting the flu, or more specifically the H1N1 virus, during the coming months.

According to the CDC, the risk for infection can be reduced through a combination of actions. No single action will provide complete protection, but an approach combining the following steps can help decrease the likelihood of transmission. These recommended actions are:

  • Wash hands frequently with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand cleaner when soap and water are not available.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
  • People who are sick with an influenza-like illness (ILI) (fever plus at least cough or sore throat and possibly other symptoms like runny nose, body aches, headaches, chills, fatigue, vomiting and diarrhea) should stay home and keep away from others as much as possible, including avoiding travel, for at least 24 hours after fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Fever should be gone without the use of fever-reducing medicine). 
  • Avoid close contact (i.e. being within about 6 feet) with persons with ILI.
