FLU season is in full bloom
There’s an increasing number of people/employees with flu-like symptoms.
Here are prevention measures:
- Employees with influenza-like illness (fever with a cough or sore throat) should stay home and not attend work.
- If you are sick, stay home until you have been fever-free and symptom-free for 24 hours. This is to keep from infecting others and spreading the virus further.
- Employees who appear to have an influenza-like illness at arrival or become ill during the day should be sent home immediately.
In addition, please take these everyday steps to protect your health:
- If your are experiencing chills, achiness, nausea or any of these symptoms at all, please do not come to work. During the early stages is when they are the most contagious!
- 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 hand cleaners are also effective.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
- Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
