Take precautions during flu season
|
|
The flu is nothing to sneeze at, especially with this year's widespread outbreak and related deaths in North Texas.
The Tarrant County Public Health Department encourages all residents to follow these flu prevention tips:
- Get a flu vaccine and avoid close contact with sick people.
- If sick, limit personal contact to keep from infecting others. Stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever ends. It should be gone for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medicine.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
- Wash your hands often. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Germs spread this way.
- If you get the flu, antiviral drugs are available by prescription.
