PREVENTIVE MEASURES FOR SWINE FLU



1.The first preventive measure is to avoid contact with the pigs (swine). If you have pigs in your area then please inform the local municipal office so that he can take care of those pigs by keeping them isolated.


2. Swine flu is communicable disease, so use the face masks to protect from the swine flu antigens.


3. Cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing, using tissue when possible. Dispose this tissue by using only once.


4. Avoid visiting the crowded places like theaters and prayer halls. This can be the spreading ground for Swine flu.


5. Maintain good hygiene. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water to reduce the spread of virus. It would be better if you use alcohol sanitizers or Dettol for washing hands.


6. Take a special care of children because they easily get infected with the Swine flu. It is okay if you don’t send them to school for few days. Many schools have even announced holidays.


7. Avoid eating outside food because it may be contaminated and may make you infected with the virus.


8. Don’t use the public urinals because many people spit there, which could lead to the spreading of the disease.


9. Drink the boiled water.
