Keep Germs to Yourself...Tips for Cold and Flu Season
It’s cold and flu season again, so you should probably get out your handkerchief and be prepared to spend a few days in bed, right? Not necessarily!
There are a few simple things you can do to reduce your risk of getting sick:
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially before eating, or use hand sanitizer if you can’t get to a sink.
- Avoid shaking hands with others, especially those who have been sick recently.
- Avoid touching your nose or eyes, two common places for germs to get in.
- Get a flu shot early. Many places are free and don’t require appointments.
- Keep working surfaces, telephones and computers clean by using cleansers designed for these items.
