How to protect the rest of your family if someone has a cold or flu
Wash your hands frequently if you’re caring for sick family members
Catching a cold or flu as the season changes is not uncommon. If you didn’t get a flu shot, which is recommended by doctors, washing your hands frequently is the best way to prevent against germs and bacteria. Germs can live on surfaces for up to 48 hours so avoid touching your face (mouth, nose, eyes) before washing your hands.
Has a case of influenza found its way into your family? There are some simple precautions you can take while caring for a loved one with a cold or flu.
