Wash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based hand cleaners (especially after you cough or sneeze). Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze (throw the tissue in the trash after using it). If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not your hands. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth (germs can spread this way). Try to avoid contact with sick people. If you come down with a fever or respiratory infection, stay home from work and avoid contact with others.

Also, if you are pregnant or have young children who become ill at home, please note the following advice:

If you are pregnant and come down with a fever or respiratory illness, contact your physician immediately for advice, as influenza can increase risk for both mothers and unborn children. Don't give aspirin or products containing aspirin to any ill child 18 or younger (there is a potentially fatal condition called Reye Syndrome that can occur this way).
