BEST PRACTICE REMINDERS:
  • If you are not feeling well, have a fever, or visible signs of illness we ask that you take the time to rest and recover AND STAY AT HOME
  • Wash, rinse, and repeat – Good hand washing practice involves immersing your hands in warm, soapy water for at least 20 seconds. Wash in bubbles and wash often!
  • Cover your coughs and sneezes – Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve, not with your hands. Using your hands will only further spread germs and viruses. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth until you have properly washed your hands.
  • Disinfect surfaces you use when out in the community – The flu virus can live on hard surfaces for an entire day! To kill flu germs, wipe-down before and after use.
  • Hands-off for now – High fives and hand shakes can be replaced with nods and smiles for the time being.
