SWINE FLU H1N1 San Diego County Web Portal

CALIE's FREE Top TIPs on preventing the spread of H1N1 germs:

Wash your hands frequently and properly HOW TO: CDC recommends that you wash your hands vigorously with soap and warm water for 15 to 20 seconds before rinsing and drying with a clean towel. The time it takes to sing the "Happy Birthday" song twice is about the correct time to spend scrubbing the hands together.

Remember: Regular bar soap doesn't kill most germs, viruses or bacteria — lathering up water and soap only makes the skin slippery so the buggers can't hold on as well when we try to rinse them off.

Sneezing properly, coughing etiquette HOW TO: Many experts recommend placing your hand on your chest, raising your elbow to your mouth and sneezing into your elbow area to absorb the germs (never sneeze or cough into your hand because your hand transfers the germs to everything you touch. Likewise, sneezing into the open air spreads your germs everywhere).

Remember: Avoid touching your face with your hands unless you just washed them properly because hands are the number one way germs are spread to the eyes, mouth and nose (which is why it is important to keep clean hands).
