HOW TO AVOID SWINE FLU

1. Stay Home: If you are sick or have any flu-like symptoms, its better to stay home. Do not school or work. Swine flu sysmptoms may mimic those of regular flu and cold sysmptoms.
2. Contain Your Cough: Cough or sneeze into the crook (inside elbow) of your arm. This way you do not transfer the germs to your hands and then to every object you touch. You can spread Swine flu easily by touching an infected object and then touching your face. A flu mask will help you avoid infection in enclosed spaces.
3. Wash Hands Frequently: Wash your hands frequently to avoid swine flu. Anything you touch may be affected, so keeping hands clean will help you avoid infection.
4. Hand Sanitizer: Carry hand sanitizer with you. If you have things others have touched, use your hand sanitizer to avoid swine flu infection.
5. Avoid Crowds: Stay out of crowds as much as possible. Wear a surgical mask in areas of high traffic concentration.
6. Eating and Drinking: Do not eat or drink after others without complete sensitization of containers or utensils. Swine flu can be transmitted by contact with infected eating utensils.
7. Visit Your Doctor: Get to a doctor immediately if you develop sysmptoms of swine flu including high fever and body aches.
