Hello all, I received this from a friend. of mine.

Dear Friends,

The recent swine flu outbreak has become of extreme concern both locally and
abroad. Kindly note the tips below, pay particular attention to your team
members and take every precaution to protect yourselves and your family at
this time.


Steps for Prevention of Influenza

Here are some precautions everyone should follow now and throughout the
year to increase protection from the flu.

1. Wash your hands often. Regular hand washing, with soap and water is
very effective in preventing the spread of respiratory viruses, such as
the flu. If you can't wash with soap and water, alcohol-based gels and
wipes can be used. The gel should be rubbed until it's dry.
2. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Those are "major points of
entry" for all kinds of germs, particularly those that cause colds and
the flu.
3. Cover your nose and mouth. If you're about to sneeze or cough, put
your hand or a handkerchief over your nose and mouth or sneeze or cough
into your sleeve.
4. If you're sick stay home, particularly if you're running a fever or
sneezing or coughing a lot.
5. If you are experiencing the following symptoms, contact your doctor
to receive the appropriate care:
a. High fever
b. Muscular pain and intense head and nasal congestion
c. Reddening of the eyes
d. Dry cough
Overall, practice good health habits. To keep your immune system as
strong as possible, get plenty of sleep, eat nutritious food, drink
plenty of water and other fluids and try to reduce your stress.
