If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, contact your primary healthcare provider (doctor).

To protect yourself and your family from the flu:
|
1. Encourage all people to cover their mouth and nose when they cough or sneeze. Use a disposable tissue or your elbow or upper arm, not your hands.
|
2. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also helpful. Use caution with alcohol-based hand cleaners with young children due to possible alcohol poisoning.
|
3. Try to avoid contact with sick people.
|
4. If you get sick, limit contact with others to avoid infecting them. Stay home from work, school and social gatherings when you are sick.
