H1N1 Flu Prevention

As a precaution, KCC recommends that everyone -- students, faculty, staff and community members -- follow the instructions of health providers and the Centers for Disease Control to prevent the spread of flu.

Please remember the "3 C's: Cover, Clean and Contain"
– Cover your cough and sneeze; use a tissue or your elbow – Cover your cough and sneeze; use a tissue or your elbow

– Clean your hands; use soap and water or hand sanitizer
– Contain your germs; stay home if you are sick

More suggested precautions:

* Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.

* Avoid close contact with people who are ill. Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing by infected people.

* If you get sick, the Centers for Disease Control recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
