H1N1 Flu Symptoms & Precautions

H1N1/Swine flu symptoms are similar to those of other flu strains:
· Fever· Cough
· Sore throat
· Body aches
· Headache
· Chills

Swine flu symptoms develop three to five days after you're exposed to the virus and continue for about eight days, starting one day before you get sick and continuing until you've recovered

Prevention - These measures may help prevent flu:
· Stay home if you're sick.
· Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently.
· Avoid contact.
· Reduce exposure within your household.
· Clean “shared” items often – phones, keyboard, mouse, etc
· Clean and or/replace toothbrushes

We have placed "disinfectant wipes" in all classrooms for your use - one wipe can easily be used on several keyboards & mice...

Remember-if you are ill, please stay home - we can always bring you up to date on anything you missed....
