Swine Flu Preparation Tips

ATs, especially at collegiate level, need to be on alert for H1N1 Flu

Many college athletic teams have already felt the effects of swine flu as the sports seasons began in August, and health officials are forecasting a big increase in swine flu cases this fall. The CDC has tips and resources for schools, universities and childcare providers dealing with H1N1 flu at http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/schools/.

H1N1 Flu and You: CDC’s Tips to Staying Healthy

Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
(Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.)

Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze.
Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.

Try to avoid close contact with sick people. Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.

If you get sick, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
