Flu Season Resources

Healthy tips for this flu season:

• WASH hands before eating, and after you cough or sneeze.  Or, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.  Avoid touching your face with your hands.
• COVER coughs and sneezes with a tissue and throw it away.  Or, cough and sneeze into your elbow or shoulder - not your hand.
• PLEASE stay home if you or your family members are sick, coughing, sneezing, or have aches or fever associated with the flu - except to get medical care or for other necessities.
• STAY home for at least 24 hours after you no longer have a fever of 100 degrees or more.
