dear friends

swine influenza is on the RISE, serious. Please take care of yourself if you're still unwell/having the flu/cough like I am now.

Ways to Prevent Virus from Spreading:

• Wash your hands with soap and water frequently, especially after coughing/sneezing.

• Stay home if sick, or wear a mask if you have to go out; avoid crowded places.

• Cover your mouth/nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing, and discard properly.

• See a doctor if you are sick.

• If you have visited affected areas (eg Mexico, New Zealand, parts of the US) and develop respiratory illness with fever within seven days of return, use a surgical mask and consult a doctor immediately, disclosing your travel history.

• Stay updated on health measures advised by the authorities.

• Limit or postpone hospital visits where possible. • Wash your hands with soap and water frequently, especially after coughing/sneezing.
