Here are some helpful tips to keep your family our all of our Wildcats healthy during cold and flu season!

• Stay home when you are sick.  If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick.  You will help prevent others from catching your illness.  Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.  Germs spread this way.
• Cover coughs and sneezes.  Use a tissue to cover coughs and sneezes, then dispose of the tissue.  When a tissue is not available, cough or sneeze into your elbow.
• Clean and disinfect surfaces or objects.  Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school, espeically when someone is ill.  
• Wash hands for 20 seconds.  Whashing hands often under clean, running water can help prevent the spread of germs.  If you cannot wash your hands, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60-90% alcohol.
