Cold/Flu Season and School
05 Oct 09
It’s October and on days like today where the temperature is beginning to feel cold and with recorded signs of snow overnight, you know it’s the cold and flu season. The last thing anyone wants is to catch the cold or the flu especially with the current alarm of the H1N1 flu virus.
Well, what can you do as a student to prevent the spread of the cold and the flu in school?
1) Wash your hands thoroughly. Washing your hands does seem simple but just read Canada Health guide of washing your hands.
2) Keep an alcohol based hand sanitizer close.
3) Cough or sneeze into tissue, so keep some tissue in your pocket or backpack. As a last resort, cough or sneeze into your sleeve if there are no tissues close by.
4) Just be aware of the spots around school where you know it will be a potential place for infections like door knobs, stair rails or along the lockers.
5) Do not rub your eyes and avoid touching your face. Your eyes, nose and mouth are points of entry for bacteria and virus to infect your body.
6) Keep your immune system strong by sleeping well and eating healthy.
7) If you are feeling sick, stay home. Don’t risk spreading the cold or the flu to others.
