There is no vaccine available at this time, but the swine flu can be treated with certain antiviral drugs. Persons with H1N1 are contagious for up to seven days or longer after the onset of illness, so it is important to take the following steps to prevent spreading the virus to others:
- Cough or sneeze into the bend of your elbow or a tissue and properly dispose of used tissues;
- Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and warm water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer;
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth;
- Stay healthy by eating a balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, and getting plenty of rest and exercise;
- Seek care if you have influenza-like illness; and,
- Stay home when you are sick to avoid spreading illness to others.
The CDC is asking that those individuals who experience mild, flu-like symptoms to stay home. However, if you feel your symptoms worsen or become severe, call ext. 6232 or visit the Shroyer Health Center.
