How to protect yourself and others:

There are steps you can take to reduce your risk of getting sick from viral respiratory infections, and help prevent transmitting infections to others, including:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.
• Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
• Stay home from work or school if you have a fever or are not feeling well.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces.
• Get a flu shot – it is not too late to be protected from flu.
