What should I do if a flu outbreak happens?
The following tips can help keep you healthy in case of a flu outbreak:
Practice prevention
These hygiene tips will help keep you healthy under normal circumstances, too. This is especially important if you are caring for someone who is sick.
Avoid crowded areas
If there is an outbreak, it’s best to stay away from people who have the virus.
If you’re sick, stay home
This will help you avoid infecting other people.
Keep your eyes and ears open
Because pandemic flu would be a new flu virus, scientists could develop a vaccine after studying and identifying the virus. Once that happened, information would be distributed about how to get vaccinated. In case of an emergency, visit MU Alert for information.
