Dr. Waters and the DPH both advise several tried and true measures to help prevent the spread of flu: ▪ Frequent and thorough hand-washing with soap and warm water. Alcohol based gels are the next best thing if you don’t have access to soap and water.
▪ Cough or sneeze into the crook of your elbow or arm to help prevent the spread of the flu.
▪ Avoid excessively touching your face as flu germs can get into the body through the mucus membranes of the nose, mouth and eyes.
