Flu cases are on the rise in South Carolina and most recent statistics are showing increased flu activity. In Allendale County School District we want everyone to be aware of proper precautions to take to decrease the spread.
The single best way to reduce the risk of seasonal flu and its potentially serious complications is to get vaccinated each year, but preventive actions include:
Avoiding close contact to people who are sick
Staying home when you are sick
Covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing
Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
