Cover your Cough

HELP KEEP MASON NATION HEALTHY!
Six Tips on Preventing the Flu at Mason

  1. Cover your mouth and nose!
    Cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve so that you do not contaminate your hands. If you cough into a tissue, throw it in a wastebasket immediately.
  2. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water!
    Washing your hands frequently and thoroughly will help protect you from germs. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
  3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth!
    Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.
  4. Avoid close contact!
    Avoid close contact with people who are sick. If you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.
  5. Stay home when you are sick!
    If possible, stay home from work and school when you are sick. Seek medical attention if necessary. Doing so will help prevent others from catching your illness.
  6. Practice other good health habits!
    Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.
