Parents, please keep students home when they are ill. Students need to be fever free without medication (ibuprofen or acetaminophen) for 24 hours before returning to school.
This flu virus is spread by germs from coughing and sneezing or germs on your hands. As with seasonal flu, individuals and families can do several simple things to prevent infection and stop the spread of disease:
Wash your hands often with soap and warm water. Use hand sanitizer soa when soap and water are not available.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.
If you have no tissue handy, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick (for example avoid church, malls, restaurants)
The single best way to prevent the flu is to get a seasonal flu shot.
