Protect Yourself from Swine Flu
The Orange County Health Care Agency is monitoring the rapidly developing swine influenza (swine flu) outbreak.  Although there is no immediate cause for alarm, it is important to be aware of the signs of illness and to minimize spreading illness to others.  Signs and symptoms of swine flu are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu, including fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. 
There are simple actions you can take to stay healthy.  These include:

• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.  Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze.  Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.  Germs spread that way.
• Try to avoid contact with sick people.

If you become ill with influenza-like symptoms, you may want to contact your health care provider to determine if influenza testing or treatment is needed.  In addition, you should stay at home and avoid contact with other people as much as possible to keep from spreading your illness to others.
