I recently attended the NYS mandated Infection Control lecture. The following text was in one of the handouts from the New York State Department of Health:
"It is important to note that ordinary seasonal flu, which has symptoms similar to swine flu, is still active in New York State. Precautionary measures for both seasonal flu and swine flu include:
-Washing your hands often with soap and warm water. Alcohol-based hand cleansers are also effective.
-Avoiding people who are ill.
-Staying home from work or school if you are sick.
-Using a tissue when you cough, sneeze or spit, and dispose of the tissue in a covered trash bin.
-Keeping hands away from your face. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
-Cleaning shared space more often such as phone receivers, keyboards, steering wheels and office equipment.
-Refraining from sharing personal items such as forks, spoons, toothbrushes and towels.
