Healthy Habits to Help Protect Against Flu

Things You Can Do to Avoid Catching and Spreading the Flu

As we head into flu season, we thought it would be a great time to talk about ways to stay healthy.

 

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• If you are sick, limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them.
• Cover coughs and sneezes.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Germs spread this way.
• Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with viruses that cause flu.
