Prevent the Spread of Flu

With recent reports of human swine flu in New York City, New Yorkers should take extra care to stay healthy and prevent the spread of any illness. Wash your hands thoroughly and often, and especially after being out in public. Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your arm - not your hand. Stay away from obviously sick people. Stay home if you are sick.
