Well that's it, Monday has once again come and gone and that means Tip Tuesday! Now that Summer vacation is making its last rounds (and might be over already for some kiddos) and its time for back to school! Exciting time as everyone heads back and we have to remember to prevent the spread of germs. We have some great tips from The Washington State Department of Health to help us stay healthy as we head into fall.
Keep your germs to yourself!
-Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when sneezing, coughing or blowing your nose.
-Discard used tissues in the trash as soon as you can.
-Always wash your hands after sneezing, blowing your nose, coughing, or after touching used tissues or handkerchiefs. Was hands often if you are sick.
-Use warm water and soap or alcohol-based hand sanitizers to wash your hands.
-Try to stay home if you have a cough and a fever.
-See your doctor as soon as you can if you have a cough and fever, and follow their instructions. Take medicine as prescribed and get lots of rest.
-If asked, use face masks provided in your doctor's office or clinic's waiting room. Follow office and clinic staff's instructions to help stop the spread of germs.
Keep the germs away!
-Wash your hands before eating, or touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
-Wash your hands after touching anyone who is sneezing, coughing or blowing their nose.
-Don't share things like towels, lipstick, toys or anything else that might be contaminated with respiratory germs.
- Don't share food, utensils or beverage containers with others.
Stay heathy and happy Tuesday!
