"Swine Flu" Info

While there have not been any reported cases in Georgia, the current "swine flu" pandemic has been on the news. Here is some info to help you prevent the spread of disease.

*Clean your hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

*Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash when you are finished. Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer.

*If you do not have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve.

*Keep hands away from your eyes, nose, and mouth to prevent germs from entering your body.
