"Flu.gov provides comprehensive government-wide information on pandemic influenza and avian influenza for the general public, health and emergency preparedness professionals, policy makers, government and business leaders, school systems, and local communities. Web site is managed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Flu Prevention and Treatment Suggestions:
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
- Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
- Stay home if you are sick until at least 24 hours after you no longer have a fever (100°F or 37.8°C) or signs of a fever (without the use of a fever-reducing medicine, such as Tylenol®). Read detailed information about how long to stay away from others.
- Follow public health advice regarding school closures, avoiding crowds and other social distancing measures.

"Flu.gov es un sitio del gobierno que brinda amplia información sobre la influenza pandémica y la influenza aviaria. Esta información está destinada al público en general, a profesionales de la salud y de preparación para emergencias, a los encargados de formular politicas, a los dirigentes empresariales y del gobierno, a los sistemas escolares y a las comunidades locales."
Sugerencias para la Prevención y Tratamiento de Gripe:
- Cúbrase la nariz y la boca con un pañuelo al toser o estornudar. Arroje el pañuelo desechable a la basura luego de utilizarlo.
- Lave sus manos frecuentemente con agua y jabón, especialmente después de estornudar o toser. Los productos de limpieza para manos hechos a base de alcohol también son efectivos.
- Evite tocarse los ojos, la nariz o la boca. Los gérmenes se diseminan de esta manera.
- Trate de evitar el contacto cercano con personas enfermas.
- Permanezca en el hogar si está enfermo durante al menos 24 horas después de la desaparición de la fiebre (100°F o 37.8°C) o de los síntomas de la fiebre (sin haber utilizado medicamentos antifebriles, como Tylenol®). Leer sobre cuánto tiempo debe permanecer distanciado de las otras personas.
- Siga las recomendaciones sobre salud pública con respecto al cierre de escuelas, evitar multitudes y otras medidas de aislamiento social.
