What to do against swine flu Staff report Glasgow Daily Times GLASGOW — Kentucky health officials ask that Kentuckians who have traveled recently to Mexico or other countries or communities within the U.S. where the new H1N1 influenza strain known as swine flu has been reported, or who are planning such travel, be alert for the symptoms of swine flu in the following ways:
• Monitor yourself and travel companions for symptoms of fever, chills, headache, sore throat, cough, body aches, and vomiting or diarrhea. • If symptoms of illness develop within seven days of travel return, seek evaluation by a health care provider as soon as possible. • Be sure to tell your health care provider about your recent travel and suggest testing for influenza. • Stay home from work, school and other public places until you are feeling well. People who have been in close contact with a person who has been diagnosed with swine flu or who reside in communities where there are one or more confirmed swine flu cases should also be alert for these symptoms. Common sense precautions to prevent illness include: avoiding close contact with those who are ill; staying home when sick; covering the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing; avoiding touching the eyes, nose or mouth; and frequent hand washing.
