Keeping U Healthy Keeps LMU Healthy!

 

Letter to LMU Parents and Guardians regarding the flu

Symptoms of the Flu:

• Fever > 100.4 degrees F
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Body aches
• Headaches
• Chills and fatigue
• Sometimes vomiting and diarrhea

Practice Good Hygiene:

• Cover your mouth and nose when you cough and sneeze.
• Wash your hands frequently, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (62% or greater)
• Properly dispose of tissues after use
• Wipe down keyboards, phones, desks, door knobs and any other surface that many people may touch
• Avoid sharing pens and pencils, or wipe them down if sharing is absolutely necessary
• Remove candy jars from desks - an unexpected sneeze near the jar could spread germs to many people
• Avoid touching your eyes after coughing or sneezing
• Maintain a safe personal distance of three feet - this is the general radius of germs after a sneeze
• Carry hand sanitizer, gloves and a mask with you as a precaution
