Precautions to take

In line of the recent Swine flu case, I am posting this entry to educate all of you on the precautions to take.
There are antiviral medicines you can take to prevent or treat swine flu. There is no vaccine available right now to protect against swine flu. You can help prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses like influenza by
1)Covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
2)Washing your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze.
3)Avoiding touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
4)Trying to avoid close contact with sick people.
5)Staying home from work or school if you are sick.
