Any flu virus is spread from person to person when an infected person coughs, sneezes or touches things that others use. To protect yourself and others:

• Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. Cough into your sleeve or cover your mouth and nose with a tissue.
• Wash your hands with soap and warm water if possible. If not possible, use an alcohol-based hand gel or disposable hand wipes.
• Stay home if you’re stick or have flu symptoms. Drink lots of water, get plenty of rest and call Yukon HealthLine at 811 or speak to your health care provider as needed.
• Visit our seasonal influenza page for more information on preventing the spread of germs.
