Keeping Your Family Healthy
April 30, 2009
With all of the discussions of H1N1 Flu in the media it is important to know what to do for you and your family. You should always take preventive steps to stay healthy such as:
- Wash your hands frequently or use a hand sanitizer.
- Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze.
- Cough or sneeze into your sleeve instead of your hands.
- Stay home when you're sick and stay away from sick people.
The City of Hampton has an Emergency Operations Plan to handle pandemic flu outbreaks. We have recently reviewed those plans and are ready should it become necessary. Hampton's Health Department and Emergency Preparedness Bureau are closely monitoring the H1N1 Influenza cases.
