Wellness Reminder!
Recent warmer weather has reminded us that spring is just around the corner; however, we still aren't out of the woods with cold and flu season.
You can help reduce your risk of getting a cold or the flu (both caused by viruses) by following these recommendations :
- Wash your hands often with soap and water. Wash them for at least 20 seconds, and help young children do the same. Viruses that cause colds can live on your hands, and regular hand washing can help protect you. Keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Many diseases and conditions are spread by not washing hands with soap and clean, running water. CDC recommends cleaning hands in a specific way to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Learn the best way to wash hands by viewing this CDC video: What You Need to Know about Hand Washing
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Viruses that cause colds can enter your body this way and make you sick.
- Stay away from people who are sick. Sick people can spread viruses that cause the common cold through close contact with others.
