Swine Flu
Parents of students at at least one local school are being warned about a possible swine flu outbreak.
In a phone call and email sent to parents, the prinicpal of Benchley Weinberger Elementary" in Lake Murray says local health officials are investigating a possible H1N1 outbreak at the school.
A higher-than-normal number of students are absent with flu-like symptoms.
If you have a doctor, you should contact them to arrange for a vaccination. Pregnant women, health care workers, and kids from 6 months to 24 years old are considered to be most at risk.
In addition to being immunized, the risk of flu can be minimized by:
- washing hands, with soap or an alcohol-based hand wash for at least 20 seconds, throughout the day;
- covering a cough or sneezes with a tissue or, if need be, the inside of your elbow;
- not touching your hands to your face, nose or mouth; and
- staying home if you're sick, until at least 24 hours after the fever comes down below 100 degrees without medication.
