Two deaths from flu have been reported this season in South Dakota. Let’s make sure someone from Brandon isn’t the next victim.
Does your workplace encourage employees to stay home if they’re sick? If so, do you?
Does your family have any traditions about when kids should stay home from school? When I was young, our family had a rule that if you ran a temperature or threw up, you automatically didn’t go to school the next day.
Do you keep antibacterial cleaners in your home? If so, do you use them, especially during the cold and flu season? A quick spray of Lysol on all surfaces people touch is a good idea. Hit the telephone receivers, door knobs, toilet handle, faucets and cabinet handles. It’s a good idea to keep antibacterial wipes in your desk at work, too, and wipe off your phone and keyboard every day.
What other precautions do you take?

3 more must do basics…cover your cough, handwashing and keep the kids out of public places when they have a cough and cold. Yes, it’s not convenient to skip the game, church or shopping, but RSV and Influenza spread fast and easy!
