Tips to Avoid Colds and Flu

It’s cold and flu season. Below are some reminders to help avoid being ill this season. If you do become ill, please keep yourself isolated from others. You can order room service for a small fee of $2 per room.

Tip 1
Get a flu shot. Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, and Frey Meyer offer free flu shots with most insurances.

Tip 2
Wash your hands A LOT! Scrubbing your hands for 20 seconds or more is the most efficient to get your hands clean and free of germs. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer is another good way to get the germs off your hand.

Tip 3
Avoid getting close to people with the flu. For example, don’t shake hands. If you do, make sure to wash your hands.

Tip 4
Keep your surroundings clean. Make sure to disinfect door knobs and light switches.
