Prevent the spread of germs!

10 simple reminders as we enter the flu season:

1. Wash your hands with soap and water frequently, especially before you eat.
2. Avoid touching your face, eyes, nose and mouth.
3. Wipe keyboards and mobile devices regularly with alcohol.
4. Avoid sharing drinks/ cups and utensils.
5.  If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your sleeve at your elbow.
6. Don’t leave used tissues lying around- throw them into the garbage bin immediately after use.
7. If you are sick, keep a distance from others to prevent the spread of illness.
8. Stay away from people who are sick.
9. Keep hydrated and ensure adequate rest.
10. It doesn’t hurt to get an extra boost of vitamin C! Try “Emergen-C” drinks or “Ester-C” capsules, a buffered form of vitamin C that doesn’t cause stomach upset.
