There have been a number of deaths, but, thus far, most laboratory confirmed US cases have been characterized as mild. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available. In the meantime, observe the following recommendations to remain healthy: 1. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. If a tissue is not available, cough or sneeze into your elbow, not your hands. 2. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective. 3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way. 4. Avoid contact with sick people. If you are caring for a sick person in your home, follow the precautions listed in the attached home care guide to prevent illness in other family members. 5. If you get sick, stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. For further information, contact the Board of Health at 201-265-2100, Ext. 615 or 618. A great deal of information is also available on the CDC website at http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/ Additional Resources: Pandemic Flu: What you need to know Pandemic Flu Home Care Manual Pandemic Flu Emergency Preparedness Shopping List
