| How to stop the spread of germs to help us all stay healthy this school year | http://cci.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/223 | How to stop the spread of germs to help us all stay healthy this school year | <p><strong></strong>Colds and influenza spread easily from person to person. These germs can spread directly from person to person when someone coughs or sneezes, or indirectly when germs land on hard surfaces like door knobs, desks, keyboards and then are touched by someone else. These germs can then enter the body through the eyes, nose or mouth. <br><br>The most important thing you can do to keep from getting sick and stop the spread of germs to others is wash your hands! Wash with soap and warm running water for at least 15 seconds (or try singing "row row row your boat"). If your hands are not visibly dirty you can use alcohol-based hand rub (hand sanitizer) for 15 seconds. You can also get your flu shot, cover your mouth when you cough and sneeze and stay home if you are sick. Teach your kids to do the same!<br> <br>For more tips to keep you and your family healthy this school year, contact <em>Health Connection</em> at 1-877-721-7520 or visit the health unit's website at <a href="http://www.simcoemuskokahealth.org/">www.simcoemuskokahealth.org</a>.<br> <br><em>Information provided by the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit</em><em>.</em><br> </p> | | | |
