Closed, crowded spaces should be avoided if possible.
Hands must be washed frequently with soap and warm water.
When you sneeze or cough, cover your mouth and nose with disposable tissue.
Anyone who becomes ill should stay at home, even if their symptoms are mild.
People who develop any symptoms should contact their family physician.
