Cover your coughs and sneezes 

•  Cover your mouth and nose with either a tissue or with your sleeve (e.g. into your elbow) when you cough or sneeze.

• Clean and disinfect commonly used surfaces like door knobs, telephones, keyboards and light switches. Use your regular household cleaner.

• Get your flu shot each year.  Visit one of the Health Unit clinics, or see your own health care provider.

• Try to stay home from school, work or other social activities if you are sick to reduce spreading germs to others.
