Some Facts about Swine Flu

And  Prevention:   *

FACTS:

·        More people have died in the last year from “seasonal flu” (20,000) than “swine flu” (1,000)

·        The concern is how fast it spreads, not death

·        Symptoms include: fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, headache, chills and fatigue

PREVENTION:

·        Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when  you cough or sneeze; throw away

·        Wash your hands often with soap/water or use alcohol based rub

·        Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

·        Avoid close contact with sick people

·        If you are sick with flu-like symptoms, stay home for 24 hrs after your fever is gone
