Practice Good Hygiene

As school begins and students move back to residences, it is especially important for us all to remember that with the novel influenza virus that is circulating we need to practice good hygiene. Wash your hands frequently or use an alcohol based hand sanitizer. Cough or sneeze the “vampire” way (into your elbow). Stay home if you are ill, and seek medical attention if you are seriously ill. Have the seasonal and H1N1 influenza vaccines when they become available.

Keep yourself healthy and able to fight off illness by eating well, exercising and getting enough sleep. Take care.
