GCS: We need your help

By Matthew Rice

School takes precautions against H1N1 flu

"School and health officials say parents can help protect their children and prevent the spread of H1N1 flu as they would colds and other seasonal flu by taking the following precautions:

Teach your children to wash hands frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds (about as long as it takes to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice). Be sure to set a good example by doing this yourself.

Teach your children the proper use of hand sanitizer. Gels, rubs, and hand wipes all work well, as long as they contain at least 60 percent alcohol.  Hand wipes must be disposed of properly. Always read and follow label instructions when using hand sanitizer. 

Teach your children to cover coughs and sneezes with tissues or by coughing into the inside of the elbow. Be sure to set a good example by doing this yourself.

Teach your children to stay at least three feet from people who are sick. That’s the same distance as a yardstick.

People who are sick should stay home from work or school and avoid other people until they are better."
