In
this FLU Season…
Regardless whether it’s swine or chicken flu, we are
recommended extra precautions to protect ourselves and others.
For example:
·
Always cover your coughs or sneezes
·
Wash hands frequently. Do not steal the
soap from the church/hall bathroom
·
Be understanding of people who prefer
not to shake hands, not even for the sign of peace.
·
Receiving communion in the hand instead
of on the tongue minimizes direct contact. The same is true for abstaining from
the communion cup (temporarily), especially when you show symptoms of possible
influenza – stay home for 24 hours.
A 34 page H1N1 Flu Guide for Community and Faith-based
Organizations, published by US Department of Health & Human Services
is available for your perusal at the Rectory Office.
