The H1N1 virus is affecting many people in many parts of the country.
Here are some tips as to how you could ensure your safety and the safety of others.
Do Not panic. This is a 100% curable influenza if detected early.
The Central & Sate governments are fully geared up to the situation.
If you have the following symptoms, please consult your doctor immediately
- Cold and Cough
- Running Nose
- Fever (May take a day or two to manifest)
- Feeling of congestion in the chest
- Vomiting , Diarrhoea
- Head Ache or Body Ache
Remember children below 14 years and elders are susceptible for this infection.
Please wear nose masks if you have cough and cold
Maintain personal Hygiene. Wash your hands as often as required.
Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose. Use a tissue paper when you cough or sneeze
Avoid going to crowded places especially airports, railway stations, bus terminal etc
Please use the prescribed nose masks while you travel and especially by air.
Avoid traveling if it is avoidable.
As a measure of cost reduction try digital video conferencing or use the internet facilities to communicate.
