Swine Flu Update
As the World Health Organization raises the
Pandemic Alert Level for swine flu, Tri-State Nursing is joining the Federal
and State agencies in increasing awareness and prevention of the Swine Flu.
Tri-State Nursing is continuing to monitor the situation and release updates
as they are available.
Please follow these swine flu prevention tips to help keep yourself, your
family and your co-workers healthy:
 |
Wash your hands often with soap and water. This removes
germs from your skin and helps prevent diseases from spreading.
 |
Use waterless
alcohol-based hand gels (containing at least 60% alcohol) when soap
is not available and hands are not visibly dirty. |
|
|
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough
or sneeze and put your used tissue in a wastebasket. |
|
If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your
upper sleeve, not your hands. |
|
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth because germs
can spread in that manner |
|
Wash your hands after coughing or sneezing, using soap
and water or an alcohol-based hand gel. |
|
Stay home from work, school and events when sick |
|
Avoid close
contact with people who are sick |
|
Follow all
local health recommendations. |
|
Practice other good health habits
|
Get plenty of sleep |
|
Be physically active |
|
Manage stress |
|
Eat nutritious foods |
|
Drink plenty of liquids
|
|
Tri-State Nursing
encourages our clients to schedule a date for a seasonal flu vaccination
clinic now, as it remains the number one defense in preventing the flu.

Swine flu is a respiratory infection caused by
influenza type A viruses that regularly cause
outbreaks of influenza in pigs. People do not
normally get swine flu, but human infections can
occur. Human cases typically involve people who
have had direct contact with pigs, but
person-to-person transmission appears to have
occurred among the recent cases. Public
Health officials have confirmed that the newly
identified swine influenza virus has caused
illness in California, Texas, New York, Ohio and
Mexico. To date, 40 confirmed cases have been
reported in the United States and most of the
infections have been mild. The cases in Mexico
have been more severe.
The virus contains a unique
combination of gene segments that have not been
reported previously among swine or human
influenza viruses in the U.S. or elsewhere.
Federal, state, local and international health
officials are closely monitoring the situation.
This investigation is still in
the early stages and further investigation
updates are available at:
