Follow these flu prevention tips

  1. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze - or cough/sneeze into your sleeve. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it, then wash your hands.
  2. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
  3. Avoid contact with sick people.
  4. Stay home if you get sick. CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school (for 24 hours after your fever resolves without the use of fever reducing medication) and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
  5. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
  6. You don't need to avoid travel, concerts, public gatherings but make sure that if you are sitting next so someone who is coughing, move or ask them to cough in their sleeves.
  7. Turn off the air blower on the plane.
  8. Good self care. Rest, play, laugh, exercise, and eat well. Find healthy ways to deal with stress and anxiety.
