The Central Cambria Health Care Team Newsletter

In response to the growing media coverage of influenza A (swine flu) the Central Cambria Health Care Team wanted to provide information to our families and students that can hopefully minimize the impact that this could have on our district.

Influenza A is a respiratory disease of pigs that normally doesn't infect humans. It has become contagious and is now spreading from human to human. This typically occurs the same way as seasonal flu: by coming in contact with infected people who are coughing and sneezing.

The Signs and Symptoms
  • Fever
  • Cough
  • Sore Throat
  • Body Aches
  • Headaches
  • Chills
  • In some cases Diarrhea and Vomiting
Ways to protect your family:
  • Stay at home when you are ill. Children should not come to school when they are sick.
  • Wash hands often with soap and water. Teach your child to wash their hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. (Have them sing the "Happy Birthday" song)
  • Do not touch your nose, eyes or mouth.
  • Cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing with you inner elbow.
  • Teach your children to stay three feet away from ill people.
  • Stay healthy by eating a balanced diet, drinking plenty of water and getting plenty of rest and exercise.
  • Seek care if you have flu like symptoms.
  • If you have a recent history of travel and experience mild flu-like symptoms stay home. If you feel symptoms worsen or become severe, contact your health care provider.
