With the massive outbreak of Swine Flu across Jordan we thought we’d give you some tips on how to avoid getting it:

1) Get the Flu shot – and definitely get the H1N1 Flu shot if it’s available.

2.) Wash your hands as often as possible.

3.) If you have a fever, it’s best to call in sick.

4.) Use tissues when you sneeze or cough and dispose of them immediately.

5) Avoid hugging and kissing everyone you know, a smile will have to do for now.

6.) Check up on your sick friends and colleagues through Facebook or by calling them, no need to make any visits.

7.) Make sure all surfaces around your home or office are disinfected regularly.

8.) Keep a bottle of hand sanitizer with you.

9.) Don’t touch your eyes, nose, or mouth after you’ve shaken hands with anyone.

10.) You might not want to share any food or drinks with people.

11.) If you’re feeling ill, go to the doctor to get checked out. Chances are you might have a normal flu, but stay on the safe side.

12. ) Weddings, parties, funerals, schools, and all other indoor social gatherings are high risk areas for catching infections, so this season, it’s okay if you don’t make an appearance.
