Swine Influenza (Flu) Information

Everyday actions people can take to stay healthy.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective.
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
• If you get sick, stay home from work or school and limit your contact with others.
• If you have sudden onset of flu like symptoms, call your health care provider.
