Tips to Stay Healthy

The H1N1 virus is here, but that doesn't mean you have to get sick!

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) there are some simple things you can do to help prevent the spread of the flu:

• Wash your hands frequently or use a hand sanitizer.
• Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth.
• Disinfect any surfaces you think may have been contaminated by a sick person. The influenza virus can live 2-8 hours on tables, counters and other objects.
• If you do get sick, stay home! People infected with the H1N1 flu may be able to infect others from 1 day before getting sick to 5 to 7 days after. The CDC recommends that you stay home at least 24 hours after your fever is gone.
