Flu Prevention Tips

Please keep in mind the following preventive measures to help stop the spread of flu:

• Wash your hands often

• Stay home if you have a fever or a cough
• Avoid contact with other people who are sick
• Clean common household surfaces often - refrigerator door, faucet handles, etc… and especially those that young children come into contact with.
