What to do if you get the swine flu (H1N1)

According to a handout that came home with my kids from school, here is what they say to do if you get the swine (H1N1) flu:

• Stay home, out of public for seven days after symptoms begin or until you've been symptom-free for 24 hours.
• Limit contact with other people.
• Teach children proper handwashing and set good example by washing hands frequently with soap and water.
• Cover cough and sneezes (and then wash hands!).
• Throw tissues directly into garbage can and do not put on other surfaces. (Better clean my daughter's tissues out of my car; she has a cold right now.)
• Contact health care provider if you have any questions.

Basically, what they're saying is, do what you would for any type of flu - good hygiene, etc.
