- Stay home whenever possible. Ask your support team to get groceries, walk your dog, bring work home from the office, or whatever else you can delegate.
- If you develop a fever of 100.5F or higher, calls your doctor right away (day or night) and start drinking plenty of fluids. Stay well hydrated and get a diagnosis and treatment for whatever is causing your fever.
- If you cough or sneeze, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue and then toss it out. No tissues handy? Turn your face into the crook of your elbow, to keep germs from flying away.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol sanitizer – this will kill most germs. Keep using a hand sanitizer ever hour to keep your hands germ free and clean.
- Avoid people who have a fever, cough, or sneezing, or complain of any flu-like symptoms
If you feel like you are developing flu symptoms, don’t wait to see if it will just go away. Call your doctor or nurse practitioner and ask for advice or an appointment.
