Do's and Don'ts
Do's and Don'ts
- 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 with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
- Wash your hands at regular intervals with disinfectants.
- Keep surfaces like doorknobs, tables, etc. clean with disinfectants.
- Don’t touch your mouth, nose, eyes after touching strangers and unknown surfaces.
- Don’t touch yourself or others after sneezing or coughing. First, wash your hands.
- Avoid public contact or use mask when in crowded areas. The swine fly attacks the respiratory tract.
- Avoid travelling, if you have any of the mentioned symptoms.
- Avoid close contact with people having respiratory illnesses.
- If you have no tissue or handkerchief, do not clean nose with hands. Instead, use the cuff of your shirt or clothes.
- Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.
- If you develop influenza-like-illness (ILI) (fever with either cough or sore throat), self-isolate yourself at home for 7 days after the onset of the illness
or
at least for 24 hours after symptoms have resolved, whichever is longer. - Persons who experience ILI and wish to seek medical care should contact their health care providers to report illness (by telephone or other remote means) before seeking care at a clinic, physician’s office, or hospital.
