H1N1 (swine Flu)
As you may know, the H1N1 (Swine Flu) is a contagious disease. It is caused by the influenza virus, which can be spread by coughing, sneezing, or runny noses. It can cause: Fever, chills, sore throat, coughs, runny or stuffy noses, headache, diarrhea, muscle aches and fatigue. Influenza can lead to pneumonia and seizures. The Flu is easily spread from person to person. Therefore, we are taking steps to reduce the spread of flu in the Red River Parish schools. The following steps are recommended from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to prevent the spread of the Influenza virus:
• Frequent hand washing with soap and water or the use of an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Covering coughs and sneezes with tissues or coughing or sneezing into elbows, arms or sleeves instead of hand when tissues are not available.
• It is very important to keep sick children home for at least 24 hours after there is no sign of fever without fever-reducing medications. Do not send children to school sick.
• Classroom surfaces and school facilities are wiped down with appropriate cleaning agents.
• Influenza vaccine is also recommended for anyone who wants to reduce the likely-hood of becoming ill with the influenza virus.
