Good afternoon:

Given the current situation regarding the H1N1 Flu outbreak, we have compiled
for your information a few resources to which you can refer if you have
questions or are seeking updated information regarding the H1N1 virus.  We
encourage you to share this information widely with your partners and
stakeholders.

Remember to follow these actions suggested by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) that can help prevent the spread of germs that cause
influenza. Take these steps to protect your health:

   * Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw
the tissue in the trash after you use it.
   * Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or
sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
   * Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
   * Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
   * If you get sick with influenza, CDC recommends that you stay home from
work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.

Additionally, below please find the CDC’s H1N1 flu web site:
