Here are some tips from a random Google search on how to avoid getting sick:
1. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue, when having to cough or sneeze. Make sure the tissue is disposed when done. Don’t have a tissue? Sneeze or cough into your sleeve.
2. Using your backhand or forearm, when needing to rub your eyes or mouth, will help protect from germs.
3. After coughing or sneezing, make sure your hands are sanitized.
4. Do not share things like drinks, eating utensils, Chapstick or any other personal items.
5. Make sure to bring hand sanitizer or sanitizing wipes.
6. Hand washing stations will be on site at the fair. Use them.
Practicing these tips will keep you and your family safe from H1N1.
