How Do I Protect Myselt?

To protect yourself from catching swine flu, take the same steps you would to prevent getting any cold or flu

Wash your hands or use alcohol-based hand cleaners frequently. 

When you greet people, don’t shake hands or exchange kisses. 

Avoid contact with people with flu symptoms.

And to protect others

If you develop sneezing and coughing, be sure to use tissues to wipe your nose and cover your mouth, and to throw the tissues in the trash or toilet bowl.
