KNOW WHAT TO
DO TO FIGHT THE
H1N1 FLU VIRUS
The H1 Ni flu virus is a respiratory
illness that causes symptoms
similar to those of the seasonal flu
(fever and cough, runny nose, sore
throat, body aches, fatigue and lack
of appetite).
All strains of flu can be dangerous;
however, good infection prevention
measures can help protect you
and others if this virus begins to
spread rapidly in Canada.
! Wash your hands often and
thoroughly—for at least
20 seconds—in warm, soapy
water or use hand sanitizer.
! Cough and sneeze in your
sleeve, not your hand.
I Keep common surfaces and
items clean and disinfected.
Stay home If you're sick, and
call your health care provider
if your symptoms get worse.
