Flu Precautions
As students head back to class, the City of North Richland Hills reminds everyone to take the following steps to keep from spreading the flu and other germs:
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you sneeze or cough. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
- Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
- If you get sick, stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
Residents are encouraged to contact their primary care physician for information about flu vaccinations.
