HEALTH ADVICE! DON'T SPREAD GERMS AT WORK

If you’re sick or one of your co-workers isn’t feeling well, it’s best to avoid close contact for a while.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers these suggestions to help prevent the spread of germs at the workplace:

Get a flu vaccine each year.

Avoid close contact with other people who are sick; if you’re sick, limit your contact with others.

If you are sick, stay home until you are better.

When you sneeze or cough, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue.

Carefully and regularly wash your hands.
